Led or hid lights

Getting the car back shortly and some small jobs on my mind.

Has anyone fitted led headlights? Wondered if anyone has a comparison against HIDS also?

Thanks

Reuben

Have just bought some led H1's for mine, but looking at them today I don't think they will fit through the reflector.

HIDS are fantastic

You can see the wall before you hit it

Hi Daz if you let us know if they fit and how they comapre if they do that would be great.

Hids are great but if i can do without a ballast with improvement of light i will do that for more of an oem look under the bonnet

Have tried to fit these this morning and they don't fit through the hole in the reflector

That's the second set I've tried too!

Got any pictures?

That's a shame. Quite keen on some

I am looking into buying led h1s. Can you show which are the ones you tried?

Here are the ones I tried last week

ebay H1 led's

The one's above are driving lights, not headlight LED's, I think! You need something like this for the headlights....

I bought some LEDs so I will ket you know how they compare to xenons. They should arrive by Wednesday.

Reuben, I got my LED headlight today and will be fitting them in the evening then testing over the weekend. I will let you know how I get on with them.

I bought NSSC S+ 5500k with Philips Lumileds Z ES. They look like this:

So far nothing beats the hids. Led lights on my Bravo 2 - super dark, just like regular halogen lights but they reach further ahead. With Hids I have day at night.

Hids it is then. Thanks for coming back and letting us know.
£15 for hids it's what I have seen so far

No probs. Go for more expensive set of hids preferably 55W. You will avoid many issues. My mate just bought a set of 35W hids for £15 and he cannot stand them. I paid £50 for a set of 55W and got no issues.

Can anyone reccomend me a new HIDS set? My offside one has just packed in after many years of service.....

I bought these earlier this year for my hyundai coupe. Performed perfectly. HID's are so cheap now.

Cheers jonny - how bright did you go?

55w 6000k

I bought my HIDs on ebay from HIDONLINEUK. You want the slim ballast ones. They work fine, a great improvement for the dipped beams, but you can't put them in main beam because they take a few seconds from switch-on to get to full brightness. I chose 4300K colour temp - I don't like the blue colour of 6000K.

I have them on my main bean and fog lights with no problems at all , just never use them as its to much light .

Hi guys,

Have any of you guys done a rear led conversion and if so could you please post a link so I could purchase a set, I'm struggling finding any with Google, loads of pics but no luck as of yet.

Led bulbs or led rings ?

Rings nismo they look awesome

I have a couple of sets done , ready to fit that I was going to put up for sale when I'm back in the uk . if your interested send me a pm and ill send you some photos .

Just like these ones

Just bought a replacement slim Ballast for my failing offside headlight. An unbelievable £7 all in?! Will probably last a week now I've said that...........

Have a look here: LED COB Ring rear light conversion
You don't want "fairy lights" you want solid rings. I have my old set available if you're interested? They have enhanced reflectors for the brake light element of the bulb. Side lights are the rings, bulb for brake. I found that to be the brightest way.
