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 Smile

This was a members response to having hids fitted LINKY

Can't view that link for some reason Rab

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?)

Plug and play, using the OEM plugs. VERY EASY to do this mod. In fact if you can't do this one send the keys back to the dealer and retire from driving lol.

i'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!

I still disagree with putting HID's in standard non-HID reflectors. It's extremely annoying when someone coming at you has 35-50 watts of light scattering into your face.

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

No idea - I'm really hoping someone will link to a kit they've bought, or that is right for what I want, so I know what I'm looking for!
