I'm talking about something like this

I had 6 LED lights in my old S2, think S2Ian has the blue ones I bought before that at the moment though.

I've been meaning to buy some 9 LED ones to test.

Is there any need/use for main beam when you have the HID upgrade?

If so, what bulbs does everyone recommend for main beam?

Also, fogs... ( not that they get used very much) But..... though I should ask


Cheers,

@ Jamo, are these bulbs worth adding to the rear side lights as well?

Nah not worth the hassle IMO

My sidelight bulbs. Not exactly right, but not sunflower yellow either..

HID dipped and fog..



Closer,



Unfortunately, the guy I bought these sidelight bulbs off on ebay (bulbs, not LED's) isn't around anymore.

Jason I remember you mentioning that you had put the HID's in the fogs.

They look brilliant.

Wouldn't like to be the car coming towards you on a dark night.

Where's the best place to source some HID's right now?

Is the main beam completely redundant with HID fitted?

I still use my main beam (have the PIAA Extreme H1's in there) even though I have HID dipped.

VAG Parts still do a HID kit for the S2 but to be honest, you can pick them up from loads of places online. Fitted a set to a Seat Leon the other day - I think the set cost about £100 and they're no different to the ones in my car (which are from VAG Parts) other than the leads between the ballast and bulb being the same (short) length, rather than a long and a short one. The advantage of the latter is that you can fit both ballasts on one side of the car, rather than having to place them by each bulb housing.

What happens to the dipped (HID) beam when you go to main beam? Is the dip turned off or does it stay on?

Stays on if you have an ABY or RS2 if you have a 3B or very early ABY you must do a wiring mod so they stay on when your flash etc etc

Best place to get HID's is via Jas11n ( shameless plug )

[mak2503]

As Jamo says the lights stay on.

Don't know if this helps.

It is amazing how crap the other lights look next to the HID's.

Thanks Jamo, but just for the record.

The GB on the HID's closed just after Christmas.
Seems the guy who supplied me, had changed the manufacturer he used and the new kits weren't what I'd tested for months before starting the GB and a couple of the last to purchase had some strange side effects.
A switch of kit would have been fine normally, "after" a bit of testing etc, but the guy didn't even bother telling me! the .

I can't recommend any other kits, simply because I ain't tried any. VAGparts kit is the way to go, tried and tested by many on here and elsewhere..

Jas..

If the HID dipped beam are on and I flash, they stay on. If I switch to full beam, they go off.
