VE SV6 - CANBUS + HID Kit = any issues?

[QRI05E]

Hey Guys,

I am a proud new owner of a MY10 SV6 (3.6 SIDI) and have a question regarding the Holden CANBUS system.

I'm looking at purchasing a H7 HID Kit for my VE however I have heard conflicting information that I might get an error code due to the CANBUS system. Is this true? Have any of you VE owners had any issues with HID kits?

I have seen the "all-in-one" VE HID kits at ezihid.com.au however I can get a H7 6000K HID kit for 1/4 of the price delivered thats why im wondering how they will work with Holden's CANBUS system.

Please feel free to comment.


Regards,
Sarkis

They'll be fine.

Don't put them in your low beams otherwise you are a douche.

No problems with them in mine at all

Thanks for the reply guys!


Troy - I know the reflective headlights weren't designed to house HID lights however I needd to have white and bright lights... I have tried various halogen bulbs from ebay cheapies to Philips Diamond Vision however none of them compare to HID. Any suddgestions?

Get projector headlights.

Also the ezihid ones are more exspensive due to their convenience. Having balasts hanging off ya engine bay is just haggard as...these integrated balasts and plug and play wiring is well worth the extra coin.
I personally can't wait to order the full kit to slip into my new DRL headlights. The 55w high beam is incredible for those country roads.

I dont want to start changing the head lights as the car is still pretty much new.



Has anyone heard of or used HIR Bulbs?

ZEN HIR replacement bulbs

These are meant to produce approx 2300Lm of light (75% of HID's) and are 4300K

I installed aftermarket HID's in mine and you have to go looking for the ballasts, they are well hidden, yet still accessible.

I changed the fuses to 20A from 15A as I have done before and they worked first go.

If decide to go HID, ill probably end up purchasing the HID kits (same as ezihid) from AE International (eBay seller) $139 - Low beam and $129 - foggies

6000K HID low beam + HID Foggies

OEM Halogen vs HID 6000K​

HOWEVER


I will be looking in to some halogen alternatives first possible the OSRAM Rallye 65W H7's...


Can anyone comment on the HIR Bulbs?
