HID lights
 

Hey guys

I'm in the market for some new HID lights for my 04
I currently have "exsun" HID's that came with the car and are now starting to play up.


I would like to know what brand is the best, and where to purchase them locally??

Phillips seem to be the best, having said that iv had some no name cheapies which have lasted a few years.pretty sure Mao sells them and any auto place really

^^^ As above, had Phillips in mine now for over a year, no dramas whatsoever.

Mao at Evolution R (vendor on here) does Phillips HID kits for $220 (I think) fitted...

Hit him up :)

HID's are only illegal if you do not have auto Headlight leveling & washers.

[QUOTE]ADR 13 requires that all vehicles fitted with headlamps (including HID) producing over 2,000 lumens (a measure of light output) have a self-levelling system and headlight washers.

I see a lot of Cars on the Road @ night these days with the HID's not leveled correctly and quite blinding to other drivers. It's Pretty unsafe & IMHO is a fair rule .

What about factory fitted HID's ?

After market is due to the high voltage I'm led to believe.

Factory fitted must comply with ADR 13. So they will have Auto Leveling & Washers.

It's bullshit.
