HID lights

[gpx000]

i dont really know much about the headlights and bulbs in cars. ive been on other HID posts but i dont understand the low beam and high beam bulbs or something. do i need to purchase 2 different bulbs? coz i current have xenon bulbs installed.

i was planning on purchasing an auto platonium HID kit on ebay for $96 bucks but i dont really want to install them myself. i was wondering if i was able to contact anyone who is able to properly install and adjust them and how much if i do decide to purchase a kit? and also if anyone has a cheaper kit or bargain please? i was wondering are they illegal? will 8000k be legal?

sorry if there was a double up on this post.

yeah they are two different bulbs.

when you're on low and high beam, is there a colour difference? easiest way to tell.

[gpx000]

so do the bulbs come in the kit? :S or do i have to buy them?

[Chiinkstarrh]

it is illegal to install em in any car with the exeption of some euro cars i assume=) but its up to the cop if he"s or she"s in a good mood or not..otherwise its jst a click away to book u for them

[gpx000]

if i get booked is it just a fine? or demerit points?

[gpx000]

also i googled it and it said that its not illegal if its adjusted correctly. like the horizontal lines or something. if thats not directly pointed at peoples eyes. but i dno how to adjust them properly if i do buy it. thats why i need someone to install them properly haha.

[Chiinkstarrh]

fines..and i think..they"ll get u to goto their station within a due date to show em that u had taken them off..not sure where u are but thats in qld

[gpx000]

oh ok just as long i dont lose any demerit points. thanks for helping dude. much appreciated. one more thing. rkn i should get 10 000k or 8000k?

Mate I just installed my HIDs, and they look great.. haven't been picked up yet (fingers crossed), iv got 8000k, but as far as I know they are illegal and can get defected.
If you get a set I'd be happy to help you install them, where abouts are you located?

haha trust man theres too many cars nowadays for them to catch everyone if you wanna stay safe go for 6k there not as blue
haha bass lol, you took off your whole front bar but nah he should do good

[gpx000]

im just scared my car will be defect and ill have to pay a heavy fine.
is 8000k safe? im not familiar with the

bass i live in Blacktown. where abouts do you live? i have friends who can do it but i think i prefer people who can properly install and adjust them. just so they dont blind people. the horizontal crap just confuses me lol.

You should be ok i know about 4ppl with 8k head lights and they never get pulled over for em... they all used to go to the same school as us GPX lol

Im currently getting 8k's now a whole kit for 70$ off a mate who was in the grade above me at school. if u want i can get in contact with u and get him to buy another set.

[EscapingFate]

And usually youll only get pulled over if your being a c**t on the roads... or if u got a mad ricer car... if u keep your car neat and non rice u should be ok and if your not being a total douche on the streets.

[silverGPX]

i have had 8000k's for over a year and pulled up for numerous breath tests at night and they havent said a word.

[gpx000]

70 bux? will he also adjust them for me? like properly align the horizontal and vertical lines? just so it doesnt look dodgy at night. coz i find with some HID's on cars that theyre not properly adjusted. so theyre quite blinding. i just dont want to get pulled over. but ill let you know. ill pm you sometime in the future.

thanks guys.

As i said my mates installed the kits themselves and have not adjusted them and they dont get pulled over... like ever... we drove around castle hill notorious for pulling ppl over and we drove past 5 police cars and i sh*t u not... none of us got pulled over..

i also have a quick question, whats low beam and full beam??
is full beam high beam? :S
or is full beam when i turn on the head lights and not park lights?
haha.

[EscapingFate]

Im not too sure what full beam is but ive always just known it as park lights, low beams, high beams never heard of full beam.

[AJ]

High beam and full beam is the same thing IMO.
