Hi,

Has anyone tried a HID kit (4300/6000k) in a S1 Stagea, and was it worth it?

Are they the correct type of headlights to actually get a benefit - like a sharp beam cut off, or does it make the beam spread everywhere?

Am I better off just getting some good bulbs?

Thanks

I cant tell you definately about the beam focus- but some of the HID kits on EBAY are awesome quality and only around $100 or so bucks. So in my opinion I would definately give it a shot.

Saw one of those kits in real life and this one particular brand (cant remember which one it is ) was really well made, looks like it should have cost much more,

VERY CAREFULLY.... With the butt of a screwdriver and a tap with a hammer.

After that, we just shook out all the pieces.

Took us about an hour because I was afraid of cracking the outer glass.

On a side note, does anyone know where to get an LED festoon globe for the corner lights? The goldy halogen look lets it down a bit

I have an ebay 4300 kit in my S15 (projector headlights) and they are one of the best mods I ever did.

However, I tried them in my Legnum and the beam sprayed eveywhere due to the type of headlight, giving a worse result than the factory globes. So I wanted to check the result wasnt going to be similar to the Legnum.

Cheers!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
