Hey peeps, I'm thinking of upgrading my lights to some HID's but there are so many different ones, wondered if any of you had suggestions on what ones or where to get them from?

Cheers!

Hid4u . You pay for what you get . Pay cheap pay again in a week . Pay over £100 if you want mint ones and last for ages . Think there H4 for yours . 80% about this

Thanks for the info, will have a search for them. Been trying to find the right h4's that have hi/lo beams but type h4 into fleabay and you still get every other bulb type!

Best result is to fit a projector lamp type .
NOT cheap .
Sure you can't get bye with better bulbs and uprated loom /relay.

for a start how good at wiring are you?

to do the job right/tidy requires a little bit of knowhow.

anyway. what you want is bi-xenon H4 in 5000k which gives you a nice white light so wont attract the boys in blue to much.

Hi, I looked at projectors but I think that's a bit too much for me, as its my only transport i dont want to do anything that means it will be off the road for any length of time! I'm ok I guess, good enough to do the normal bulbs anyway. Cheers for the info Bibio, will look out for that spec!

I took 4x HID Bi Xeon bulbs to find one good enough to get Cut off pattern on my Juke.
Fafed about focusing it by bending the location tags,And thats going to be hard as you problydont have acsess to a beam checker like I do.
Have you tried Night Breakers .
They are good

Errrrr D'oh!

Figured it would just be a case of a straight swap!

I'll prob give it a miss if there is faffing to be done, I'm very lazy!

Cheers for the info though!!

you can just bung it in and hope for the best. the wiring is basic plug n play

HAHAHAHAHA, that is generally more my style! Might give that a go if I can find a reasonable set! I don't really have to worry about it too much till its mot is due in around 15 months
