Hid Replacement Bulb Help

[mattye]

So I've had a search n have worked out that I'll probs get new bulbes through "sharperdeal" on Ebay. I'm thinking 6000K or 8000K. Not 100% yet cause although i want the 6000K's n really like the idea of having nice bright headlights, I'm not sure if they will be too bright n in that case I'd go for the 8000K's.

So I've got 3 questions.

1. What do people recomend out of the 2? I do a mix of City, Suburban and Highway driving. If some people can post up some pics maybe. Looking at the car as well as showing how far/much they light the area up.

2. Looking on "sharperdeals" Ebay page you can select D2R/D2S and then the intensity or you can just select the intensity. Which one do I need? From the looks the bases/mounting is different.

3. Also has anyone changed their parkers(ie.small bulbs in head lights)? And what with?

FYI: They will be going in a S2 RS FOUR S.

Thanks to everyone in advance

Hi Matteh

1. Personally I wouldn't go over 6000K otherwise looks too ricey and they attract The Filth.

2. Are you looking at upgrading your hi beams or headlights as the high beams are a Halogen D2R which you'd need an HID upgrade kit to do.

The Xenon Headlights are D2R

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I want to go 6000K but im not sure if they'll be too bright. I dont want to be attracting unwanted attention. Plus I want everyone else on the road pissed off with me cause they can barely see.

Looking at upgrading my headlights. Maybe upgrade the Highbeam next.

I agree mate. That would be what I'd be doing. Is the T10 base a standard base?

Hey mate,

i run 8000 in my M35, they are a little on th eblue side but not to bad. They seem to really highlight and reflect objects in th edistance very well...

I also run LED's in the parkers that are made up from 18 multidirectional white LED's, they look sweet and match the HID colour well.

Just my 2c worth, I got all my globes through E-Bay, 60 for the HID' and 18 for the LED's.

Cheers
