Lenny Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This forum is a dangerous place Are you adding HiD to the magnafied dome lens on these halo units mate? As far as i know HiD's are acceptable when installed in those enclosed lens units like the ST and RS units have aswell as the halo units your looking at purchasing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldoo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 why is the wash system so important on hid? i dont understand how it is more important than other lights? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 guessing its got something to do with beam pattern and dispersion if the lens get dirty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thought about hids, but like dave says about the washer system etc. Would be nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz93 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) why is the wash system so important on hid? i dont understand how it is more important than other lights? cheers Don't know if you have looked up close at a car with factory Xenon headlights but you will notice it projects the beam pattern onto the plastic cover of the headlight and the more dust/dirt that gets on there from the road the more obvious it is that you can see the pattern as it stops the projector from working as efficiently and causes other drivers to get distracted. I have noticed this driving around with the Xenon lights in and have resorted to giving them a spray of glass cleaner every other day or so. I really need to get the washers sorted soon as this is really annoying As for the light units I really don't like halo ones :/ personal thing as I hate seeing BMW's right up your rear ^_^ just generally think too many chavy corsas etc... with them on. The first ones look better imho. But everyone to their own :) Edited January 28, 2013 by Lenny Swearing replaced with more approiate content,please read your text prior to posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Like i said previously haz mate, the halo ones are like bmw yes but the other ones are audi. So i gotta make a choice about which i hate less out of the 2 germans lol. Must say i dont get that many bmw's behind me, it is mainly audi's up me rear bumper. Like today driving round in a residential 30 zone durin the day, i had an audi tailgating me for ages, and to add insult to injury it had the exact shape of drl's as the first head lights i linked Edited January 25, 2013 by Lenny Swearing replaced with more approiate content, please read your text prior to posting on the open forum.

Think the designs are much more sleek than BMW's plus I know a few people with BMs who had them, say they are crap to drive etc. I am not saying I like the way people drive either of them as especially Audi drivers get way to offensive when driving. personally for me its how a car looks not the people that drive them. you could always go for one that is a mix of both :) http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/150525519843?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&cbt=y Edited January 28, 2013 by Lenny Swearing replaced with more approiate content,please read your text prior to posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Was lookin at them from a UK company but they only had them for LHD cars Whats everyone think to these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) BMW drivers used to be the looney's on the road but as many company cars are now Audi's you're more likely to be annoyed by them nowadays. I work with a guy that owns an A3 and he is a true looney (traffic cop). :P Edited January 25, 2013 by Lenny Swearing replaced with more approiate content, please read your text prior to posting on the open forum.

Brigante Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I remember em sayin on topgear how all the looney's that used to drive M3's have now migrated over to audi Edited January 25, 2013 by Lenny Swearing replaced with more approiate content, please read your text prior to posting on the open forum.
