does ne1 have those cool xenon lights for ur VN

[plAythiNG]

how come, no one speaks about these bulbs, i am thinknig of gettin these for my VN, as holden lights are like candles, literally hahaha go onto ebay and type vn bulb, those are what i am getting, 31 bucks, for three bulbs, including express post from mel. to sydney

IMO it's not worth it. I put some in my car and took them out again almost straight away. I thought they cast a really strange light and didn't find it good to drive by, or any brighter than the standard bulbs.

Check the voltage you are getting at the bulb is still 12volts as it can drop because of the wiring deteriorating with age, and check the headlight beam alignment as this being set up correctly will help.

I used to have Ring SportzBlue bulbs in my car which looked really blue if you saw them during the day, but cast a nice white light. Not sure if you can get them out here, but they were illegal anyway as they are 100/80watt.

well i got tha one from ebay, type in vn bulb, n u will see, is that tha correct voltage?

[Shortstuff]

I can't see any at the moment, but they should be 60/55watt to be legal.

[coolvxss]

Ive got them. It is better then stock globes but they are still not great. My stock globes hardly put any light on the road at least my new ones i can see light on the road.

I think you will find in the old VN's the deterioration of the reflective inserts are half the problem

[BLS]

can u get to high watts? could it burn the plug out??

[immortality]

i've got the +50 from hella or narva, they work well too

if you want real light do a HID conversion

[crazybiker]

Without a doubt. HID's are the way to go if you want unmatched light output.

i have HID's in my vp and have for 2 years now...they are the best and i recommend them to anyone. very very nice lights.

[Junny]

yeah i recommend too 31bux lmao... i was selling (well taking orders) for hids for 55-70

[wildss]

im pretty happy with my phillips crystal vision's, heaps better than standard globes.
not looking forward to replacing a globe when it goes though, over $50 is alot for 2 globes lol

[mischa]

Dont think anyones mentioned HIDs require a self cleaning/self leveling headlight to be legal as far as i understand.

I have 35 watt 6000K HIDs in my vn calais and they are heaps better than the standard globe. Used the cheap kits you get off ebay from hong kong and havent had a problem. U need to buy Hi/Low switching H4 globes and then H3 for the 2 high beam globes.
HIDs can throw off a little more glare than the standard globe as the reflector was not designed for HID globes. All I did was adjust the headlights down a touch so i am not blinding other drivers.
As a mechanic I have had to repair the fuse and relay wiring for the headlights on a couple of VNs due to bigger wattage globes being used. The aging electrical wiring and extra load put on it can cause fuse and relay holders to melt.
The 35 watt HID globes run cooler than the standard 55 watt globe, put out more light and use less power once warmed up. The only downfall from having them is they take a good 10 seconds to warm up which can be a pain when you need the full power from your high beams when you put them on, not 10 seconds later. Plus you still have to take into account the reflector in the headlight was not designed for HID globes so installing them will make the car unroadworthy.
