Headlight Choice

[madsav]

Hi guys,
im seeking some brightness from the vt headlights, should i look at HID kit or a set of projecter headlights?

If HID kit what brand should i seek out?

Also will the HID kit help with my SS spotlights in the bumper?
or What bulbs should i get for the spotlights? as all my lights are nasty yellow glow
Cheers

i recommend these head light bulbs for ur factory head lights.
would work alot better with projecter headlights

I would also recommend these bulbs. Whatever you do, don't get those very annoying bluish bulbs.

yeah those blue bulbs shit me, they look some times ok but they put of less light so its got me f*cking why people use them
the bulbs in the link above are more whiter then stock but still have a yellow thinge to it to give it a stock look. great bulbs tho and cheap

Philips +80% and +100%. I haven't tried +100% yet but I'm sure they will be as good/better than the +80%.

I'm using narva ultra blue globes, and I find shine fine when driving at night?

If you want the brightest go with HID's and projector headlights. I have 35w HID's in my VT's there very good, but they preform even better with projectors I have heard.

Sorry to hijack the thread,
Just bought a set of the ebay chrome projector lights with the fused earth wire, this looks dodgy and im considering rewiring them more like a standard set.
I have 1 H1 hid kit there from when i had the original lights in, should I buy another H1 kit and put them in both high and low or should I put the HIDs in the high socket and a pair of the Philips +100s in the lows?

[madsav]

hi mate i put the HIDs in the high ,better for brightness in dark areas, and ive always been abit unsure of the Philips 100s only because ive been affraid of them burning out with heat lol or maybe im wrong the other guys would have a better insight then me thou

[BNS-355]

thanks mate, the plan is for the hids in the high, not sure wether to get another set for the low or not? what did you use in the low? the philips globes appearantly wont harm lights by getting hotter, have had them in standard lights and sell a lot of them at work, definately a good globe tho

[BNS-355]

reading through other posts on here it seems ppl have used hid in both but im def worried about blinding people with the low

[madsav]

My trouble im having now is no local auto store can tell me what bulbs i need for my standed fog lights, (VT SS)

[BNS-355]

that is a good one, ill have a look for you tomorrow. what globes did you use in your low beam?

[madsav]

not 100% sure now mate but im 70% sure im using PHILIPS H4 X-treme Vision +100% +35m Bulbs#-OZ Seller | eBay ATM eaither way im sure it was a Philip brand

[BNS-355]

madsav - still looking for the globe type, mite be easiest to pull 1 out?

[BNS-355]

got the lights and globes in, went with altezza style lights with 6000k hid high and philips xtreme +100 low

problem im having now is i want the low to stay on with the high, can probably work it out but is there anyone out there that has done it?

[showbags]

VT foggies are H3 globes. I've got HID's in my lows, highs & foggies. You've just got to spend some time with your headlight aiming so you don't blind every one. You need to aim them slightly lower& left than you would normally do for standard globes.

when I put My ones in I took it for a test drive and I had someone walking there dog towards me and the dude had his hand over is eye's and so did the dog lol

Phillips diamond visions!

Navara Arctic blue. not really blue as the name would suggest, more white. Very good very bright light. and as someone who has sat behind my car i can vouch for the brightness and no silly blue look very sharp white with a hint of blue.

had this same problem with my aftermarket lights, the earth wire on each headlight (should have gnd written on it) needs to be earthed onto body, i just put them with the top bolt on headlight

VT foggies are H3? does that include WH statesman? guy at autobarn had no idea today and neither did I was raining and had the minister for war in the car so couldn't pull one out

[madsav]

So the H3 are for the fog lights,is it the same H3 for the High beam?
Forgive me if this is a dumb question but i want to upgrade the headlights in the vt to somthing like these

The question i have is will the Philips H4 Extreme bulb i brought from ebay fit these healights ? or just but the Headlights and a Hid kit?

probably not mate, most aftermarket lights use h1 in high beam and h1 in low beam, i had to buy complete new hid kit when i changed headlights. only way of knowing for sure is asking the seller though.
