Xenon Lamps - How much?

[ScienceVR6]

I was under the impression that HID/Xenon bulb's required a high levels of voltage and special regulators. So I always thought that you had to replace the entire assembly of the lighting system.

I didn't think it was possible to just replace the bulb's ?

Thanks.

you are right. anyone selling just bulbs that claim to be xenon are lying. Xenon requires a ballast (choke) to ignight the gas in the bulb to start the reaction. once started, they run the same current and voltage as a normal globe.

Do you know much about the color temp's and as to which one gives the best all round light for driving ?

the lower temps are accualy better for vision. these may not be as blue as some people like, but offer the best projection and clearity

So how low are we talking ? 4300 K ? 6000 K?

[ScienceVR6]

4300k is white, 6000k is very blue. the lower the k the less blue the light will be, if you can get a good balance between yellow (stock), white and blue, then you will have a very good light.

In fact, the stock yellow globes (halogen) are often better than the white globes, as far as projection. the xenon will out project the yellow globes, and if you stick to the lower end of the availible temps, you will have very good light.

I'm guessing that the kit doesn't come with a cleaning mechanism for Lo beam as per ADR?

I've never heard that one! Audi TTs don't have it.

[fuzion]

its apparently so when it snows or mist is on the glass it doesnt glare. but doesnt more water make it glare more? wtf lol

anyone after a kit let me know

Hi Guys,

Yes I have installed on my Passat wagon 06 for low beam..
Cause high beam is a waste of money for me... I never use highbeam while I am driving so safe me $$$.

So Far I am happy with the services. I bought about 5 xenon kits from this
guys for my cars.. different cars.toyota, honda, vw, audi hehehehe

It has cost me $200 with delivery for my Passat 06 low beam H7 6000k..cause I read for
better vision use 6k or less.

If anyone interested his name Eddie lok his email : aeinternationaltrading@gmail.com

He is base in Melb..

Tell him I sent you. but no discount

cheers

You can't have it on high beam anyway.

Hi Phil,

Do you know the reason why ? please share it..You couldnot have it on high beam..

Thanks for your input.

Cheers

They take a few seconds to turn on as they are a gas discharge globe. That's why the low beam stays on while you are on high beam. Some cars use the same globe and have shutters to change from high to low beam.

Hi Phil,

Ahhhh another tips or reason for me not to put on high beam.

What about the bi-xenon... are they the same problem.

Thanks Phil,

WTF is a bi-xenon
Sounds kinky.
But I've still got valves in my wireless.

It's cryptonite, Synchro. Don't have to worry about it unless you're Superman. You're not ... are you?
