Hid Rocks!!!!!!

[gottavecalaisv]

Just a quick post to say if anyone is considering puting in HID lighting, DO IT!! the lights are so much whiter and brighter without being glarey, best thing i ever did to the Calais. I have done the low beam and fog lights both in 6000k. very very happy. next purchase will be for the high beam.

Couldn't agree more. My mate got HID's for his honda accord and they were terrific. People go on about how there is no even spread and cut off line but they do look so much better that your normal lights.

mine have a great cut off as i have projector lights in the calais.

have you been flashed for it yet?

[gottavecalaisv]

no flashing yet, had the main beam in for about 8 months, did the fog lights 2 weeks ago. all good so far!

...they are near useless in the rain...

seriously...

ignore what anyone else says.... 4500k or so may be good in the rain, but 6000+ are not.

i have found 6000k to be ok in the rain when we get it here in Vic!! better than halogen anyway and a lovely white light.

What was involved in doing the conversion?

What was involved in doing the conversion?

i guess maybe extending the existing wiring, mount the balast and run the wiring from the balast back to the headlight and bulb,

just at a guess

[gottavecalaisv]

no need to extend the wiring, takes about half an hour all up. very easy everything just plugs into existing wiring!

Mind me asking where did you get the kit for both the headlights and foglights?
What brand? How much?

[gottavecalaisv]

got them from ebay user 95soarer

I have done main beams on my car too. They are just absolutely great. I love them. Wouldn't want anything else, ever. Planning to do my fogs soon. And I installed it myself. Was very easy and just plug n play. Costs about $220NZD here. Anyone wants some, let me know. There's all types available. I can arrange some for your guys. PM me.

how'd you go getting through a WOF testing station with those HID lights fitted?
