Can Someone Explain poor Headlighting or recommend an HID upgrade?

Quite a few of us use this tower LED from UltraLED. It is a decent match for the 6000k HIDs and is so bright that from the side, my mother thought I had left my headlights on

Now, can someone return the favour with a mainbeam recommendation?

Cheers n

Blimey Si they must be uber bright as the 5 led's i bought arrived today and I fitted....just popped out in the dark and they throw some light alright

Look fwd to my 55w HID's arriving and then might be happy to drive the car at night with some confidence again

so after seeing fitzy's and my avant you decided to go for it then

I have 55w on my s2, defo worth it, same as fitzy's.

my avant lights when clean did not scatter much and showed the markings on the lens perfectly, its better when on the move you can really make them out as you saw on sunday.

couldn't not really could I, I looked like I had french headlights on mine they were so yellow and I have seen lighters with more illumination than my headlights

£55 shipped, lets see how easy it is to plug and play

Yeah its easy, if you need any info or a helping hand give me a shout - normally around half hour to fit a kit for me

just arrived so thats lunchtime sorted for me then! Where have you mounted the drivers side ballast in the past as space it pretty tight in there

[johne]

Mine fitted on the plastic plate in front of the airbox behind the headlight between the airbox trumpet and the inner wing, but it's a little tight and your ballast might be larger.

Mine was actually underneath the headlight as there was easily enough room there

[s2driveruk]

opted to wrap mine in heat reflective fabric and it slotted nicely under the airbox on a sticky pad and fixed onto an M10 thread which was looking lonely

Just waiting for it to go dark and i can go see how illuminating an experience it is to drive with HID's

[Rusty]

I'm hoping to fit mine this week sometime, currently my car time (about 15 mins a day) is used on the Polo so I can sell it.

[s2driveruk]

What can i say...it's taken 8 yrs of ownership but this is by far the best £50 I've spent on the car.

Installed my 55w HID kit today and even for an electrical dunce like me, it was plain sailing. The difference is unbelievable, for the first time i'm able to see reflections from painted lines on the road and the throw of light is miles

Even better, no autocheck warnings, safe to say i'm a happy bunny!

Really dull stock projector



Difference between stock and HID...



Nightfall and finally some confidence inspiring candles



Fogs next and I think maybe a set for the A6 too.

[Acidburn]

Glad you got it sorted but damn you and your pearl car I want a pearl one now

think I might see if I can have the amount of pearl upped in mine when its resprayed, could have it done pearl white.

[s2driveruk]

I should have taken a picture at the petrol station under their lights, looked awesome even if i say so myself!

[Acidburn]

I'm seriously tempted to have mine resprayed in this colour, think it would look good with what I have planned for it.

[Rusty]

I'm rather looking forward to getting mine fitted now
