Hids / Led lights

[VxPete]

Sorry for another thread on the dreaded lights but I am fairly new to HIDs / LEDs so please bear with me, having checked out some threads I believe my Car needs the 9012 fitment being a 16 plate, There is a myriad of stuff to choose from and to be honest I am unsure what to choose, I don't mind particularly how much they cost as they will be for safety and aesthetics so if anyone could point me in the right direction on what to get for my first mod.

Cheers in advance

Pete

Hi,

I have just upgraded to the new grand sport and have some bits including HID and LED headlight bulbs for the facelift available

I had a kit fitted with slim ballasts that all fitted in the headlamp so no drilling. 5000k bulbs match the DRL’s but 6000k look good too. I had both .

From an aesthetic point of view both look factory fitted and no issue with safety or errors on the dash. The kit I used was Canbus ready..

I also bought a set of LED’s but never fitted them. Changed the car before I got time..


I am in Ireland but can post them to you if interested.. i have a link below to where they are advertised where the details are. Pedal covers are already sold.

Thanks for the offer mate but will most likely buy them new so I have a warranty to fall back on

Hids arrived and after me being an idiot and thinking they wouldn't fit they in fact did, first time with these and Hid Direct were great helping me

Ah yeah that's the colour I prefer. It matches the drls better. I have 5000k in my current Insignia.

Faulty ballast more than likely

Big difference mate, it's the first time I've ever used Hids, it certainly won't be my last they are awesome

Yeah it's most likely the ballast as Dave said but try swapping the ballasts around to see if the issue switches sides just to rule out the bulb.

Is that hid kits or bulb replacement

Didnt want to start a new thread so decided to continue with this one, I have now found that at night when I flash my lights people cant see them as the new headlights are so bright! Any ideas for new main beam bulbs..............
