Saw these today > H4 retrofit projector lights.

[Hairy_mic]

really wanting to get HID's. dont want to put them into reflectors. considered getting ebay bora projectors...

saw this today and just about creamed my pants

I had previously seen a video where a guy used a bmw reflector to retro fit into a bora housing. this involved heavy dremel action and tbh looked like a pain in the arse.

in short too much hassle.

Considering doing this mod with the glass units on dylans co-op

Morimoto Mini D2S Bixenon Projectors RHD Clear Lenses H4 HID Projector Retrofit | eBay


I think the video below is H1 bulb, but the h4 should be same as it gives you spacing rings for both

So as far as I can see the only part of that I will not be satisfying is the lack of headlamp washer. Big deal IMHO, I know what the law says re fitting into a reflector housing ie you don't. But plenty of people do. And never get pulled. I would think that my converted lamps would resemble that a hid is supposed to look like. Ill take my chances tbh. Thanks for the heads up though.

and so it begins again .. dude .. just do what you want to do ..

[dylan8]

What makes you want HIDs? for the lame colours or for better vision?
for better vision, id just be running normal globes in some retro fitted projectors

Nah it's for the lame colours I cannot lie.
But I will be going with the colour with no blue. Just a brilliant white light

Dylan is spot on - Autobarn have a demo board in most stores for the phillips range (some are not ADR approved though)

i went that way first .. issue is .. for visibility .. that color temp is not bright enough in halogens ..

[Sirocco20348]

I went with these..

Philips Lighting Australia - X-tremeVision - Philips

At first I didn't rate them, but now I think they are the best halogen globe going around.

They are a whiter colour than normal halogens, and seriously they give my high beams a run for their money.

Highly recommended. Cheap if ordered from the UK.

In saying that I installed 3000 or 4000k HIDs in my toyota soarer when I had it, and they were just insanly good!

The OP should source some OEM r32 projector headlights if they were to go the HID route.

the +100% is in fact the brightest road legal bulb there is .. noticeable brightness over anything else ..

Re: Saw these today > H4 retrofit projector lights.

I found a website on vwvortex ages ago that specializes in retrofitting projectors into your stock housing....I forget what it was called but a guy told me he payed like 700 for his shipped to the UK.

I tried halogen globes and didn't like them at all. I run 50w ballasts woth 5000k globes now with reflectors and I haven't had a single problem and nobody has ever high beamed me for blinding them. Just do whatever you wanna do man

[Wighty654]

there are some decent sets on eBay. I'll try find a link for the set of HID i bought a while back. Same as SLAJ, no problems with anyone and since passed a roadworthy ignore the guys that persistently point out the legality, done properly you won't have any issues. Just make sure you angle them properly. HID have a far superior light output anyway so ignoring the legality side, they are the better lights.
