Full beam is awesome - regular beam, not so awesome... HID conversion?
Full beam is awesome - regular beam, not so awesome... HID conversion?
This was a members response to having hids fitted LINKY
I changed all the lights on the front of my car to hid and have to say it was well worth it could clearly see where I was going no matter the conditions or time of year
This was a members response to having hids fitted LINKY
So the reply back from the seller (of the kit in that link) was
"HI HB4 9006 IS for hi beam
2nd kit hb3 9005 is for low beam"
So I guess I just need the second set for the time being, then upgrade the high beams later if I want to. How will two sets plug in (I'm assuming these sets are simple plug n play affairs, and not cut-in wiring?)

The member was saying he couldn't believe the difference putting them in made everything was do much clearer to see on the road etc

01-07-2019, 12:16 AM #16i've got 6000k hids in mine but only for dipped. I paid about £40 for them off ebay. Got them from a seller called diane shop. Good seller and long warranty. A lot of people of the forum have used this seller and had no issues. Had mine just over 3 yrs now. Had a ballast fail after a yr but they replaced both of them under the warranty. I cant complain really! All I have to say is if you go back to halogens after using hids its like driving blind!

That's the wrong way round isn't it? Isn't the dipped 9006 and the main beam is 9005?
