    Default Quick eBay HID question (sorry)

    I just wanted to know what people think of this HID kit? Does it seem like it might be worth it? Or is it just a cheap imitation? I'd go for the 4300k ones.

    MARS Bluepack 12V/24V 50W Full-Digital HID/Xenon H1! - eBay Headlights, Lights, Indicators, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 22-Jun-09 21:10:15 AEST)

    There are philips ones on there which are like 500 but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing both headlight sets and also spot lights when I get them, so I don't wanna end up paying 1500 for them.

    So if these seem like they're decent I might go with them?

    Thanks

    Well as they say.. Seems ok and at least there local.. I've dealt (still do) with overseas stuff but if they fail err you have to send the back the failed unit and pay for the return of the replacment
    Cheers,

    So this type doesn't slide out further when high beams are turned on like other HID's? Is that just this brand or is it the whole H1 type of HID conversion?...

    I was only saying sorry because I know there are a lot of HID questions in these forums, but finding them is hard because searching for HID says there are too few characters in your search, add more..

    Thanks for the replies

    yes VT's/VX's are H4 in standard headlights. But I will be putting them into my Altezza headlights, which is H1 for both the low beam (the one in the projector) and H1 for the seperate high beam.

    I'm guessing from what HARVZ-6 has said, I'll need to get two conversion kits if I am to have any sort of high beam functionality. Not that big of a deal though I don't think.

    My question really is to do with the quality of that particular eBay product. If it's worth me getting that one, or if I should keep looking for a different brand?

    Thank you very much .

    All I'll be going to achieve the high beam and low beam by converting both the high beam and low beam globes lol. So I'll be getting two H1 packs .

    Oh hopefully I'll get enough people looking at this to answer, is it possible to get driving/spot/fog lights that are projectors? I ask because they help to aim the light of HID lights straight so as to not 'dazzle' other drivers and therefore to attract as little attention from police..
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply digger.

    I've just been looking in that person's shop, they have a yellow pack and a blue pack. One if 35W and the other is 50W. What would be the different between the two? They both have the same temperature lighting, would the blue pack (50W) just be way brighter than the yellow pack (35W)?

    Never mind about my question above, I have found the difference . I'll be going with the yellowpack (35W). From what I've read, they'll last longer. If anything I'll put 50W as the high beam, but might just save the cash and get 35W for both .

    Cheers for the replies guys

    are you installing the HIDs in projectors coz if not there is going to a $h!+ load of glare for oncoming drivers. Also the unwanted attention from cops.

    If your interested in phillips i can get them for 400. PM me if u want.

    Yeah I'm putting them in projectors. I wouldn't bother otherwise, for the exact reason as you've just said . This is why I asked above about possible projector style fog/driving lights.

    And thanks for the offer of Philips, but I'm going to go with the MARS ones, they seem to be good enough. $139 for 35W, can't complain .
