Sorry @dubber36 I have read both threads but I can’t find the conclusion on which HID kit is the one to go for. Can you please repost?

 

[dubber36]

Post #103 in this thread.

Damn it sorry, I did read that but seen soo many options I’m forgetting things I used to know!
I think I saw you went for the 4300 kit as this was the best compromise between colour and light, is that right? I can’t see whether big Mac ordered the same but the colour looks good

 

[dubber36]

4300K gives the best light output. It's what's used in OEM applications, so doesn't have the blueish tinge that most aftermarket lamps produce.

the 4300k kit was the one I ordered and the output is very good. I put some pictures up earlier in this thread

Go back a page to 135.
Thats my van with 35w 4300k HID as recommended by dubber36.

I think they are perfect.

Yep, mine is the same kit. 35watt 4300.
There is a link in post #103 for the kit I ordered.

HID gives the best results. Have a look at this thread and you’ll see a recommendation for the best ones.

@dubber36 among others did loads of testing on different bulbs and many members now use those that he recommended. look for his posts in the thread I’ve linked.

Awesome ChrisR, thanks for the pointer

Has anyone fitted these with headlights in position and where did the locate the canbus resistors ?

 

[dubber36]

I stuffed mine inside the headlights. Then when I realised that the LEDs were rubbish, I took them out and fitted HIDs.

There’s a video on THQ’s site showing how to fit the bulbs and where to put the resistor:

I was hoping these would be better than Osram Nighbreaker fitted at the mome​

nt and shelled out 65GBP expecting the 'mutts nuts' but if they are rubbish then !!
Where they the THQ version you fitted ... ?
What HID kit did you fit ?

Sorted ... can be done with headlight in place then !!!!

@Mocko1962 are you fitting these in the standard H7 headlights from a caravelle or fitting to THQ headlights? I have a set sitting waiting to go in the standard H7's just need a free moment to get them fitted.

 

[Mocko1962]

To be fitted into Thq V2 headligjts which i fitted at Xmas time

 

[Big.mac]

What HID kit did you fit ?

There’s a link to the kit a number of folk on here have used in this thread (post 103)

My V3's and a set of HIDs arrived today. Now I'm going to have to have a good argument with myself over what is most important. I was planning to fix a motorcycle this weekend.
