MarksMintness 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi guys, I was reading an interesting thread the other week on this site concerning a good price HID kit and someone who had fitted one was going to put up a guide - what you need/how to fit etc?I just wondered if this had gone up yet? I would like to change the woeful lighting on my standard VR6 and would like a few pointers!Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

MarksMintness 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Ayup mate, yeah anything would help! Just what sort of kits to get and what sort of price for the ballasts and bulbs etc... They hard to fit and are they worth it?Look forward to seeing pics!! Link to post Share on other sites

soul-2-soul 3 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi Mate, It was tonyvrsc who was going to do the guide as he was meant to do mine Sunday gone. I did not get my new headlights in time though :-(. He should hopefully be doing them in the next couple of weeks so will hopefully do the guide then. I got mine from www.hids4u.co.uk Tony got his from ebay will try to find then link then post it. Link to post Share on other sites

MarksMintness 0 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Nice pics, I want these so bad now!!! I was reading on another site that the standard headlights aren't suitable for HID conversion, as you get too much glare or something? Is this true? Sanchez it looks like you have standard headlights with the conversion, you had any issues? Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 If glare is a concern i know that www.hids4u.co.uk do anti-glare ones & I am sure that others will as well. Link to post Share on other sites
