HID's..............talk to me

Looking for a HID kit for the mk2, have no idea what to look for or what best as never really interested me.

So whats the dealo, and any recomendation?



cheers

stupidly bright ones through non projectors are REALLYYYY annoying

why do you want HIDs for the look or for better lights?

HID's are blinding!! just uprate the headlight loom

Dan

Better lighting, im not bothered what they look like as ill be in the drivers seat lol

is this headlght loom upgrade something you buy or do you rewire the light different for more power or something? bare in mind i hate wiring with a passion

to be honest you will be better off upgrading your bulbs, you can buy 130w bulbs off the shelf ie from halfords around £22each they give off a blue/white light. on the box it say`s not for road use but who the hell is going to take any notice of that lol plus you wont get any of the probs you get with hids ie melted light loom,melted reflector. trust me its no fun drivin at night with no lights cos your hid kit has melted ur loom!

It has the uprated silly prices blue bulbs already, and in my opinion they are horse poop.

Any more info on uprating the headlight loom?

Matt, look on http://www.matey-matey.com/uprated_headlight_wiring.shtml

You can make your own or if you just wanna buy, look on ebay

Sweet cheers

no probs, these are the kits that you buy from ebay for 22quid.

saves you the hastle

are you saying to put 130w bulbs in? i thought anything over 55-60w is illegal in a car? i could be wong though lol

Dan

if you just bung 130watt bulbs in your pretty likely to melt your wiring lol.

The lights are dull due to the length the wiring runs and the fact the wiring is quite old and tired by now. Ive still got some bits of mk2 wiring loom if you want to try and make it look more factory and hide the relay etc as im sure you dont just want a mass of random wires all over the place. If you fancy it, get the bits and ill come over and knock the loom up for you one day for nothing if you want cause ive done a few now lol
