HID light kits

[rj_astra]

The problem with some of these brighter bulbs, is bulb life and or light output, In short yes they are brighter but they fade quick

They don't fade quicker, per say, they go pop quicker. They don't last as long as a normal +0% bulb.

What I have done with two of my cars rather than go the HID root is use an upgraded plug and play wiring loom and also 130/90w Hella Globes. These give excellent light output. My 4x4 with crystal semi sealed housings and this conversion easily outshines my charade which has a HID kit. Only downside is cost as you are looking at nearly $200 for the loom and bulbs.

unless the car has projectors i wouldnt even go there, you can get retrofit kits to put proper reflectors that suit hid bulbs into standard headlights http://www.theretrofitsource.com/

Thanks for the link, Im surprised how cheap some of their stuff is!

That's correct.
Forester has h4 globes, grabbed the morimoto mini d2s projectors and they slotted straight in. Couldn't be easier

I'm running the same projectors in a BF XR6T - easy as to install - not the best projector on the site but installation makes up for that...
they'll be releaseing a new version of the Mini D2S early this year apparently so I'd probably hold out til then

so given the fact that most cars have plastic reflectors and a plastic lens these days, how do you over come the extra heat the bulbs put out melting and or damaging the housing and reflector and the lens ?

What ballasts did you opt for? I went for the 55s..

Fuck you'd have room in a bf headlight for two each side! Love it
