Hello Mate

I've just changed mine to PIAA NIGHT TECH and in my opinion they are brilliant,i got them from ebay,try them i don't think you will be dissapointed

Same as you on this one, I have just got a bugeye with morettes, not sure if HIDs or the laser blue bulbs fom Hal-frauds will do?

 

Osama night breakers 90% plus seem to do well in my Impreza and Legscy

 

Cheers guys

 

ive been running these in my classic for a year with no probs - brilliant white light - no heat isses with the loom

You 100% decided to not go down the HID route mate ?? only ask as having just fitted a set to my own blobeye wrx can only say the difference is amazing and 100 times better than any uprated bulb out there will give.

now fitted these HID kits to my last 4 cars and again can only say for the price - £40-£50 tops they are excellent !! what will you pay for a decent set off ordinary " top spec " bulbs from Halfords - £25 to £30 ??

Took a while to persuade dad to make the change over to HID lights on his own car, bought him a set and said fit them if you dont like them will take them off you and just sell them via ebay or wherever, first time he drove the car in the dark he was converted !! so much so that he says first mod on his new car due in a few weeks is the fitting off another set off HID lights !!

 

Yeah considered them but thought police can make u take them out and there soon going to be illegal

 

Okay no offence mate but here we go again !!!

Soon going to be made illegal?? - heard that a year or two ago and even if they are eventually an mot fail then 10 minutes if that changing two original bulbs back into the holders come MOT time is no big problem !!

going back to dad, 30 year police service - ( now retired ) and he is running them in his own car- ie.you wont go to jail !!! he also has his car in for an MOT at a major garage chain last month and nothing was mentioned regards the HID lights fitted. have yet to here of anyone being stopped and given a fine for using them- as has been pointed out many times before most new cars on the road have HID lighting options and well they going to stop every car on the road that had HID lighting to see if they are aftermarket ???!!!

choose a lower K rating bulb ie 4300 / 6 or at most 8k and you wont get any hassle, anything else higher than 8k gives off too much colour away from the legal white and as such could attract unwanted police attention ??!!

let us know what particular car you have and can advise further, if H4 fitment this could change things due to what a lot are saying about the poor / light scatter efects off this particular bulb type ?? but let us know and can advise further.

 

I used phillips rally vision bulbs in the past - I was impressed with these.

However having said that, I'd be inclined to look at the Aztec HID kit
Just go for dip, not main beam though.
I had both on my old car - dip was great, but main beam pattern wasn't perfect - I had the low rated bulbs as the "blue" ones look like **** IMO

 

If you're looking for really bright bulbs and don't want to go the HID route, the Halfords Advanced range are pretty decent, if you can get them on trade you're landed!

 

Having tried PIAA, Ring and Philips bulbs i tried Halfords Super Brilliance Blue as they were buy one get one free (which they seem to be all the time) and i've used them ever since.
TBH if you want good lighting then replacing the fogs (if you have them?) with spots. When i got my Elise i had the optional spots which were only small things, they turned night into day

 

£20 each, buy one get one free on Hafrauds Extreme H4 bulbs. Just went in to get a pair. Not fitted yet, but I'm sure they are better than the yellow horrors I've got in at the moment.

 

I fitted the super HID kit from aztech performance and they've been spot on. Must be on the car over two years now and not a problem. Slim ballest and easy to install cost about £90 I think.

I'm using Philips vision ultra, exceptional lighting

 

Best of luck to anyone using HID bulbs in light units designed, AND MARKED for halogen, after 1 January this year.

 

replaced mine today....Ring £3.43 lol

 

I took out my after market HID kit and fitted the Ultra Performance version. They are bloody fab and on the right side of legal. Alcazar does speak sense ................every now and then .
