Yep just a dipped beam H7 kit and get it from a reputable supplier as some of the eBay ones have cheap bulbs/ballast/both and don't last as long as the Hids4U kits (which have 2 yr warranty iirc).

Spend the extra and get the HID kit from Hids4U

thats quite bright is that full beam or is that normal dipped headlight, do people flash you a lot not in the naked sense

the reason the pic is bright is because i was bending down (you can see the camera is roughly in line with the grill!) when i took the pic so i could get the colour effect of the HID through the projectors! (how BMWs etc look)


i have never been flashed by anyone... when i fitted them I purposely made sure i angled the lights down slightly and i haven't had the time to angle them back up, which is needed tbh!

i would say more than 25% increase. they are awesome. i would never be withtout them now :)


i guess i was being conservitive, iv had them in for ages now i have forgotten what normal bulbs are like! so yea prob is 25 - 30%


but as said... never do without them!


from day one i said to myself... if i ever buy a car without HID i will deffo install it asap! :yes:
