manta3000 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 where did u get it from,i looked at a company called HIDS4U.co.uk they had 3 different upgrades,seemed to be relatiely easy? colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Power Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 not really answering your question, but bear in mind that HIDs if not original equipment are an MOT fail now, prob not really a major concern, but worth bearing in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorblue5 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I bought the kit from ebay, iv used the same kit before on my old Sierra Cosworth and it was simple enough, hardest part is actually fitting the bulbs into the reflectors. The Manta ones should be a little trickier. I want all my lights to illuminate, iv got a double relay unit that i may piggy back i.e when the main beam is switched on it activates the relay for the other lights and same for the full beam.

opelscott22 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Please just make sure theyre adjusted properly, Theres loads of people up here with them fitted and you get blinded when by the bloody things! all well and good for the person with then but pretty crap for everyone else.

taylorblue5 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thats part of the reason I want a set Scott, it seems u need bright lights to combat the glare of other peoples lol. I swear some of these bulbs they use are nicked from Ibrox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamytedan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I fitted some 6000's to my headlights for a short while until i noticed i was lighting up the 2nd floor of the flats from 10 yards away ! a lot of light leakage and definitely too bright to use . I put them into the full beams instead, however they take 20 seconds to get fully bright the first time , once hot they're good . but leave you in the dark for a bit ..... plan ahead that's a £35 kit off e bay, very easy to fit . , ill bet the more expensive kits get bright much faster . as far as i know ..... the normal headlight unit bulb has shielded light and is directed back to the reflector then out to give the beam pattern ,HIDs are not shielded and send the light everywhere as well as giving a beam pattern . to legally have them as dip headlights you must also have fitted a headlight washer mechanism and an auto leveling device .

opelscott22 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you adapt BMW E30 lights to your twin bezels ( Ellipsoid type) they can cope with HID lights as the beam is then the correct pattern. Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
