spotlights

Kanga,

I have Derek's HID's on the front of my Troopy and I am quite happy with them.

They are well made and quite lightweight. Funny thing is only yesterday I pulled the spread beam one off because there was something on the inside of the glass,it wasn't moisture and didn't look like dust, cleaned it off and reassembled the light ok.

Focusing them was a little hard as they have notches in the mount that make a positive locked in position for the light body, I got round that by installing 2 small stainless shims under the rear side of the base plates.

The measurements for the lights are dead accurate. As for performance I am happy with them, they are much better than my old sealed beam 100w spots. I like some of the adds in 4wd mags where the after shots with the new lights have been photoshopped to the max.

Maybe the only thing I would change is to use 2 spread beams and get rid of the spot.


Have a good on,
RA.

Shop around for LED,s. Use vey lttle power, last 4 times longer and double the brightness.

Cheers

Hi all,
Does anyone have a photo of an anti-vibration setup to stop the lights from breaking their bases?
Most have plastic bodies and they just cop a hammering. I used to tie mine back to the grille with an adjustable turnbuckle but the new vehicles these days have the grille lifting up with the bonnet.

Cheers

Bill

HID kits and prices

Hi all, i have been looking for a decent priced HID for a while, and have come across this one. 55w HID kit I want to convert a set of Hella 4000 driving lights to HID as i need the extra light and enjoy the type of light HID puts out.

I contemplated a HID headlight upgrade for a long time, but i was a little worried about the legalities and all. Even though everyone is doing it, i would prefer not to cause an accident or get a defect. However it seems that this mob have kits that are only HID when on high beam and halogen on low beam.

Does anyone know much about this, will it work on normal H4 headlights or would it only be for twin headlight type systems like the 80 series? It surely seems the way to go, but just wonder how it works if its just for normal H4 lights.

Also what is a good price to pay for a HID kit, preferably would like a slimline 55w kit and digital type too, as everything i have read while researching points to them being the best. I have tried a couple of 35w kits from China in my worklights and stuff, they only cost me $25 or something and they are still fine, and the amount more light is awesome. They seemed very cheap and nasty at first but must say they have performed well for over a year now. I am guessing they are built nowhere near as well as the ones listed above also?

I am guessing that there must be a few blokes who have done there lights on here, so thought there should be some good info. I dont wanna spend hundreds of dollars on a kit, as i dont think that they would cost much to make myself. A 35w Philips kit costs about $500 here, yet they are under $100Aus in Europe and USA. A mate has a Philips kit he paid $500 for and there was no difference in output or current draw to my cheap ones.

I might put in an order i think on the above.
Cheers for any info

I bit the bullet and decided to order some from the ebay link i mentioned. Pretty good specs i thought, he seemed to know his stuff also. Will see how they go. I tried the 4300k kits but prefer the 5000k, 4300k was still little too yellow for me.
