gje2403 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi all, I've been looking at getting a HID Kit for my fiesta and as there are a few to choose from, I was wandering if anyone had any recommendations for a decent set to get, as I don't mind paying the price for a decent kit Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff4155 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I have the 35w 6000k HID's and would love to know if anyone can really see a difference between the 35w and the 55w's? I used www.violetelectronics.co.za and can honestly say they were very helpfull and the product has been great with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gje2403 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I would be interested on your thoughts and opinions on these, seems that H15 bulbs are becoming more available now :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H15-Bulbs-Headlight-Upgrade-Super-White-Brand-New-6000K-UK-FIRST-CLASS-/281436440781?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4186eb48cd EDIT: And these.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H15-Bulbs-Headlight-Upgrade-Super-White-15-55w-6000K-Brand-New/111417943149?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27678%26meid%3Ddaecab9ea9c345f7a0d0abe3f254f5a8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D281436440781&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I bought a cheapo eBay set a while back and they buzzed / hummed really badly so I ditched them and bought the HID's 4 u Ultra kit 55w and it's the best thing I've done, the light is much sharper and agreed the ballasts feel like a quality piece of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil1jnr Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I bought a 55W HID Kit from http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/ Here is a comparison I did with halogen vs 4300K 55W HID Kit http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/59971-4300k-hid-vs-halogen/ I changed to 5000K which IMO gives even better visibility but doesn't look too blue.

M4RC Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 These are the brightest you can get (I would suggest 5000K) and are dual sided to you can install "upside down" to avoid the diode shadow. https://autobeam.co.uk/products/h7-hid-performance?_pos=12&_sid=c9288fd17&_ss=r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Will your car pass the MOT with these bulbs installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yeah, they're just coloured halogens. If you dont want to go HID just stick some Osram Nightbreakers in, they really do make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG97 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The coloured halogens from the eBay advert wouldn’t in theory pass an MOT as at that level of tiny, they won’t have the ECE legislation so they won’t be road legal. Whether the tester will check for that is another story. I would personally very strongly advise against fitting that level of tinted halogens as they’re simply dangerous. They offer a white light but don’t light up the road in front of you well at all, especially when it’s raining. Unfortunately you can’t really have a fully white and safe halogen bulb as the two simply don’t go together. I’d agree that Nightbreakers are good though. The light is a bit whiter (though still quite clearly yellowy) but the range and brightness is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG97 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I’m only going on personal experience. When I used some before, they were simply dangerous and didn’t light up the road at all in the wet and dark and not amazingly well during a dry night either. i will dig around for an article I read a while ago that compared the light output and each single bulb that had a blue filter had shocking output for heat spots which indicated minimal light being thrown out due to the blue filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimST2 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Watch out for aftermarket HIDs - they're technically an MOT fail if not OEM (I think the latest rules require HID-specific lenses, auto-levellers and washers). Without projector lenses designed for HIDs they can be bright for oncoming traffic, so you'll find yourself getting flashed a lot too...
