kpg Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I just got a new set of 55w 6000k from car-mod-shop and i think they're really bright, crisp white. I'm very pleased. I'd recommend them. Sent from my iPhone 5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukcal Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well, the 6000K HIDs are in! It was very fiddly to get the bulbs in as mine are twist to release.. I had to snip the metal holding plates to then fit the bulb in and then twist and hold the new HID bulb in place, but other than that, I can't really complain..However, they work, they are nice and bright, and hopefully this picture will work! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 6000K installed, and does look nice on Frozen White >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah, I'm looking forward to going and having a look later on - or tomorrow, there's no rush! But definitely a good upgrade over standard bulbs and they will last ages! LED sidelights installed too to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've fitted all LEDs inside too, Footwells, boot, reading lights and interior lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie8 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ordered my HID's today! 35w 6000k couldn't resist after seeing the result on here!

Got the ones off aliexpress so hopefully they are good :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC I don't have previous experience with them, but I'm chuffed. Surprisingly quick delivery, despite the distance, well packaged, nothing faulty and in working order! But yes, it's got to be LEDs everywhere once you start that! LED reversing lights are also fantastic additions; if anyone is interested, here is the link for the ones I bought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREED Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Main beam bulbs arrived to day so hopefully the HIDs will get here tomorrow, finger crossed I really want to get them in. Got some LEDs in the interior footwells already but I think I'll expand and do everything else :D Glad to see you guys are making such great progress and that your install went well Matthew :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukcal Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks, mate! I can safely say the second side was a lot quicker than the first because of having to snip those bladdy metal bulb holders to get the wiring through, but everything else was a doddle afterwards! Here is a photo of them from about an hour ago in effect :) And an attempt at showing the LED interior lighting in my car, including my custom double LED panel roof light; I like that my footwell LEDs aren't too bright and have more of a subtle effect :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really happy with them, the colour matches the ford ones in the doors so they almost look stock. Here's some pics: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Nice :) I tried red lighting in mine, but with having a Vision Blue car, the red didn't seem quite right in large quantities. Hence, I've tried to go for blue and white as much as possible! I'm too chicken to even think about getting my alloys painted white though...

I think it goes pretty well because the ST logos and ford ambient stuff is all red. Its actually quite a nice contrast from the body colour, plus red isn't too dazzling to drive with. The blue seems to have worked out just as well for you though. Got to man up with the alloys :P EDIT: I do feel that the peddles give at least an extra 20bhp :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Talking about pedal covers, are these just clips-ons?

I'm sure if I do that, plus get the interior plastics sprayed in white too, the car would, aesthetically, get no better for me! But, that stuff costs money, unfortunately! But yeah, I just like having the white / blue combination. I also want to get this, but I can't find anything on the web about installing it...

But all I could find were birdeye images or the sides, nothing showing the bottom/underneaths.Thanks for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
