Paul,If your thinking about going for new bulbs give me a shout. Had an interesting chat with a auto electrician in Wellington about them the other week. Might as well tell everyone now though ! He said dont buy any of the normal rubbish you see about there is only one brand worth buying and bugger me if I can remember what that was ! There was a thread about it recently where someone described the different bulbs etc and they came to the same conclusion. Paul I can tell you where to go and they were 50 notes a set. Am thinking about it myself to tell the truth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am thinking about it myself to tell the truth. I went to get those, but they weren't the right colour (i was trying to match up with the angle eyes and white park lights) so i went back to WOWCAR got them like really cheap.was the brand something XENON of something like that?

BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 Lookign good Andrew. A German plate would really top the whole front off. Nice choice of colour too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 I've got HID in my car and the performance is supurb how are the hids at night in the rain...do you geta lot of reflection from the rain..... do you put any weight to the arguments that the colour is "wrong" for accurate depth/distance perception....?

aliluya 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 No i don't find there is too much reflections in the rain ... i think it also works wonderfully in the rain ... basically the stock coloured HID is a really good all round light .. but once if you start changing to like 8000K lights then in certain conditions it becomes a little crapper ... but it's still much better than stock halogen.. Basically i would recommend HID to everyone that asks .. hah .. because I think it's that good ... Also another good thing about HID is that .. if there is any tiny reflection thingies from afar the HID picks it up straight away ... so you can see cats eyes from very far distance ....
