HID kits? - Carpediem - 01-09-2018
Now i understand i can fit a HID kit directly into a projector headlight without having any glare issues,
just wondering whats the best way to do it, or how to do it?
I guess i buy a HID kit online, do i need to buy two? one for dipped beam one for main beam?
sidelights ive sussed, just get some white LED ones,
and i know if i get H7 bulb kit (4300k) they will do my normal lights
but confuggle about main beams
cheers

What fitment are the astra bulbs? And yeah if you want to do dipped and main beams you'll need 2 kits.

According to HIDs4U it's H7 for dipped and H1 for main beams.

Seeing as you're not going to have this car long I wouldn't bother with the main beams personally.

HID's on dipped is enough, they are bright enough not to use main that often anyway.

Well I've got HID's fitted and I never use my full beam now !!
So just buy one kit

I fitted HID's to main beam and in my opinion were a waste of time, took a few seconds to fire up to full brightness, so not really worth the cost.
Maybe a better bet to upgrade to 100watt bulbs for mains

I've wondered this myself actually, why do aftermarket kits take a few seconds to warm up while the OEM bi-xenons on our Merc are instant?
