[Swearwolf]

hid's only look sick if you have projector style headlights. they look trashy on accords because the light is so scattered.. you can get em for most cars in kits, i believe tsx ones are the best for retrofits?

[Swearwolf]

Might do but my lights have the well known focus yellow fogging, cos the cars 10 year old....probably fail the next MOT on them lol

Also got them delivered today aswell as my blue LED interior bulbs. I'm like 150 miles from home thou near newcastle so will get pics when I go home tonight

[jesus]

theyre just the same as normal bulbs but more white than yellow

[Swearwolf]

they have a blue glow/output. tested them, drove past a cop car, he slowed right down but carried on lol

With the adjusters and headlight washers? ;)

I'm not too bothered about how the lights look really, I have a set of Philips X-treme and I've got Osram Nightbreaker Plus in them at the mo, probably put nightbreakers in my fogs soon too. :) Would be interested to see a picture Swear :p

I've got some Halfords Ultra Blue, and I bought them because they're white (not blue, because I'm not a penis) and they were about £25 for the pair on trade. they look great in the bora lights, they're not too bright but they're not yellow either. I don't like HID kits because they look tacky and they're mostly the cheap kits which don't come with the anti glare, which just scatters the lights and blinds everyone.

As metric said, the only good HIDs look good in the OEM projector style headlights. Oh, and I especially hate the 8000k+ HIDs which are very purple, haha.

[Swearwolf]

theyre the type of blue that turns white from direct ahead, only blueish up close, im not a penis either haha :D mainly wanted them cos of the poor vision of standard bulbs :)

[Swearwolf]

Just throwing this out there, they're brilliant! Much better vision, despite my lights being clouded and fogged. I've just ordered a brand new pair of light units so results will be even better! Will get before/after pics soon

My old Clio's headlights were like that, there's a guide on the forum I use (cliosport.net) on how to fix it, you use 3 different grades of wet & dry (600, 800 and 1200 iirc), buff some scratch remover into them (I used T-Cut) then finish with Auto Glym super resin polish, results were pretty amazing.

Indeeed I went by the cliosport guide and it works greatly. Didnt realise till just now that other people on here are also members of CS :P

Ive got some ebay cheap xenon style bulbs in currently. Their shockingly bad.

Getting some decent Osram nighbreakers next anyway as hopefully ill be able to see more then!

Ill try get a pic of mine tomorrow, pretty sure mine are more blue though, forget though as its either them or the sidelights that have gone more blue than white. I need mine aligned too, it could well be the reason why my light is so rubbish :P

[Swearwolf]

:) yeah, ones aligned the other is too high, ive done as much as i can need done properly lol, mine look blue inside when turned off in daylight :)
