This week I had fitted a HiD lighting kit.
The light unit was a direct replacement bulb, a bit longer and had to stretch the rubber cover on first before fitting the bulb in place, that bit done.
The kit came with a slimline high voltage convertor and a hi/lo black box as this was the bi-xenon kit to allow hi/lo beam, on the VTR these sat on top of the headlamp under the marker light, some thought is needed if placing elsewhere as the cables are of limited length, basically wire in to a live feed and earth and connect the cables to there respective sockets.
The whole caboodle worked first time, the element when revving at a stand still seem to vibrate, but this was not noticeable on road test. I had to adjust the light down, even though it did not look much brighter.
On the road (very wet) you could just see a pattern, normal light did not light road at all, the big difference was road signs and lines they appear to glow. Took out again with dry road what a difference, nice bright beam pattern and other vehicles looked like they had candles for lights- was worth the expense and time to fit not hugely brighter but clarity is very much improved, main beam was well, bright enough to burn rabbits eyes out, poor roger. At 30£ of fleabay bargain.
Just waiting for someone to leave high beams on then I can flash em good an proper.
