don't hids need a conversion? And aren't they pretty pricey??

Edited by Pepe

Those will be supposibly xenon gas filled bulbs, however many just have a blue coating on the glass. Id save your money if I was you.

I take quite alot of these out of customers cars that come for the real deal, I usually send them out to people like yourself for them to see what they think without buying them, however I dont have any at the moment.

How much are yours? Ian just looking for brighter lights as stock ones are shite! Lol

I've got some like them. There white with a bluey tint, but there nothing like HID's. PM me if you want em, cheap as....

you defo need H.I.Ds, the ones your intrested in are a pile off rubbish. If you want the new car look then you will certainly need to consider installing H.I.Ds, i would say go for 6000-bright white light, or 8000k for a blue light. I've got 30,000k and they are pinky purple :D

Also you can get a kit of ebay for about £45-50

they're reallynot worth the money, many people presume I'm just saying that so you buy an HID from me. However they're wrong, I'd rather you buy an HID from anywhere than waste money on these types of bulbs.

You spend £10 on those then dont like them or see no difference and then buy an HID so all in all you spend £10 more.

Cheer mate a couple of questions

A. Do they improve your driving visability

B. What does H#'s mean?

tbh honest, i rarely drive at night... but

A) they are most definatly brighter! when i park up in the evenings infront of a wall the light is definatly whiter and clearer!

B) H# refers to the bulb fitting, ie the holder it goes into... not 100% but i think polo is H4?

also, there is a guide on here to cleaning our your lamps... also worth it!
