Hids and led sidelights
« on: July 15, 2013, 02:06:27 pm »
What do you need to run HIDs and which ones are best? Would also like led sidelights and number plate lights

Cheers

Projector headlights! Don't for the sake of other road users put them in your reflectors.

The mtecs are great in terms light colour but the light output is not great.

Phillips Diamond bulbs are rated at 5000k for a Halogen bulb and still produce good light on the road.
As said HIDs in stock bulbs will glare and scatter light and be dangerous for other road users.  :sick:
