Ric Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi all just a little thread So impressed with my ebay cheapy HIDS £69.99 i thought i would post up a little pictures thread For future reference i used xenon.direct off of ebay and they are of 9005 fitment and i chose the 8000k variant The packaging was good, shame he wasnt in stock of the item when i purchased otherwise it would have been next day delivery. Some pics: Before: http://www.carbonangel.co.uk/images/hids/DSCF0872.JPG The packaging (Note the emark so these are roadlegal, these are also on the bulbs): http://www.carbonangel.co.uk/images/hids/DSCF0870.JPG The contents: http://www.carbonangel.co.uk/images/hids/DSCF0871.JPG After (Cant wait till its dark): http://www.carbonangel.co.uk/images/hids/DSCF0873.JPG Also thanks to AhhAristo (Tom) For the stickers http://www.carbonangel.co.uk/images/hids/DSCF0874.JPG Overall very easy to fit, hardest part was finding a nice tidy place for the ballasts, otherwise, doable in 10minutes easy.

Ian W Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 where did your ballasts go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 one went onto the ground near the drivers side headlight (the ballast holder) and i tiewrapped the other at the side of the battery and under the fusebox loom so its pretty tidy. was thinking of taking out the lights and putting the ballasts under the lights but the standard wiring didnt reach that far.

Underworld Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Woo that looks a bit of allright. Thanks for the heads up. Let us know what they look like in the night, and lifetime of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 yeah with them been cheap hopefully they last, the documentation with the bulbs says 3000hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Get back to us when its dark so you know if there is a difference! My headlights are pants at night. Could do with abi more life in them! Good work mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 yeah with them been cheap hopefully they last, the documentation with the bulbs says 3000hrs Did you get dipped beam bulbs and main beam? As the ad just says this: 2 x Xenon light bulbs 2 x Anti corrosion ballasts with connection cables 2 x Ballast clamps 4 x Cable ties 6 x Screw bolts 1 Easy installation manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 the main beam is a completly diffrent bulb so no, this is just for the normal dipped beam. If you wanted the main(full) beam done too, you would need another kit, although because they take a few seconds to warm up they wouldnt be any good for flashing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ah cool. Wuldnt really need main beams then. As soon as its dark let us know what its like!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 any idea what fittment is needed for facelift headlights They are the same as the pre-facelift Wayne, ie. you'll need 9005 to fit low beam and high beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
