On my corsa i have LED fog bulbs and side bulbs so they look nice and white but my dip beam is a yellow light as its still the standard halogen bulb. Plus the standard bulbs seem shite on country lanes so i was wandering what peoples opinions where on HID kits or the super bright H4s? Ebay links:

H4s: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251106920571?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

HIDs: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110918887035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Any views or opinions will be appreciated

6k HID's would be ideal, still slightly blue but not OTT, can I ask where you got your led fog bulbs and do you have a pic? As I'm in your situation, but my fogs look too yellow

Cheers corsa-torque. Have u got HIDs then?

My fog bulbs are LEDs off of ebay (mine werent from this seller but the look the same http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-H3-XENON-WHITE-HID-9-LED-FOG-LIGHT-BULBS-6000K-/180786926757?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a17bd94a5) They look good but dont light up the road much so wouldnt be much good as actual fogs.

Pic of my fogs:

That's exactly what I'm after, my fogs are pretty much redundant with my HIDs anyway, and don't really use them, but if I do I want them to match... Anal I know lol

Nice one. So youve got 6K HIDs atm? do you find they give much more visability in the dark?

I personally have 8k HIDs as I prefer the blue tinge, the girlfriends B has 6k HIDs and tbh there's not much difference between the two. Just a visual difference.
Over standard bulbs its a massive improvement, I'd never go back to normal bulbs

Both sets on mine and the GF's are 35w slim ballast HIDs

I always use a seller on eBay called thomas_lxx, based in Newcastle, always really quick to post, decent price and never had any issues, brought about 5 kits of him for various cars inc a few for mates.

Ive fitted 35w slim with 6000k bulbs. Bought kit off ebay over a year ago and there good no problems.

But as a MOT tester if there fitted to a car that doesnt have headlamp washers and self leveling headlamps it will fail.

I have 6k hid`s in my zafira in it`s dip beam and they are far better than standard,some people will say that there is no point without the correct headlight unit because you will get a slightly distorted beam pattern which you get with standard bulbs anyway but they are so crap that you just don`t see it.
you will be shocked by the difference!
