hid lights

[shaggy]

thinking of getting a set of these http://shrunk.net/91bfd86d
do these work ok with the surfs wireing?
and do they actualy get better results?
im having difficulty seeing in the dark and have the high powered bulbs in
ive tried washing the headlights
eating loads carrots
all to no avail

anyone got some like these?

Are the headlights clean? You might want to start with making sure they are clear, then look at a headlight harness or loom. It will up the voltage 1 or 2, and make it much brighter. Sorry I can't help you with the HID part, but interested in the info.

to be honest ive contemplated chainging the glass but when i look its clear anyway
i have tried numerous bulbs
the lights are set bang on its just down the country lanes and on unlit motorways i cant see a $$$$$$ thing

i drive a merc with bi-xenon and dont need the hi beam down the same roads
i may take the plunge
i just thought someone on here would have fitted them

Yes there is a member who has fitted a HID kit, I saw them on Salisbury plains a few years back. I seem to think it may have been Jotto, but I could be way off base, as my memory for names is useless (worse than actually).
I know they looked good even if he did have a good inch of water sloshing about inside the glass.

that is some expencive way to get more light, wouldn't a set of spots be cheaper and more controlable?

i suppose they would be but spots are no good on normal dipped beam
so it would be great until i used the motorway and couldnt use them because im blinding oncoming traffic

if set up properly the hid's should not blind oncoming traffic as they will be pointing down at the road
or thats my theory anyway lol lol lol

When I do eventually fit my bull bar (shut it Stormy!) I am planning 2 spots set low on dipped and 2 with the main beam with perhaps all 4 if possible on the flash switch, hoping someone might come up with a wireing diagram for me

Just bought some from http://www.hids4u.co.uk/

I'll let you know how its goes.

the surf's headlight loom is a beyatch, uprated looms and 100w bulbs makes a hell of a difference from standard.

It is Jotto that has HID.

I'll leave that wiring diagram to someone else i think

[onlynik]

I bought the ugraded loom from teh states for about $40, works a treat, but I really want the HIDs

[Dust]

There is some good info in here about upgrading the wiring harness, and I can help out if you guys need some help too. I just did it a few months ago on mine.

[darkdezigns]

any ideas on prices??can u post for us?lol

[Dust]

Sorry, it's for making your own. I forgot to post the link. Someone on the Aussie site recently made one for his.

Don't waste your money in a PnP HID kit. You'll be blinding oncoming trafic and the output won't be like your bixenon.

If you want HID make it well, like the hidplanet.com people.

I'm doing a retrofit at the moment:
