just fitted my HID bulb to the nc30, looks sweet.
really easy to wire in, as all i had to do was plug everything in!
just got to tidy the wiring up, get the other headlight hole filled in, then is ready for the respray 8-)

cool, i've been thinking about using a hid ki, can you use a normal headlight lense with a kit like that? didn't realise that you put the box on the back of the bulb, looks good. :D

Looking good there simmo, any chance of a few more details? Would be very interested to do the same to mine as I have an endurance front on it already and having only one bulb is not great in the winter. Where do you get this set up from? and what is that box? Are there any things you've got to watch when fitting it? Like i said mate any more info appreciated, be good to see it when you've sprayed it up!

Looks good, my kit arrived the other day but I haven't found time to fit it yet, is it an 8k kit?

That's at the back of the headlight that's soon to be "blanked" - no headlight there.

that box is the ballast.
Neo - they arent illegal depending on heat rating. 4300k - 8000k and the pattern has been adjusted correctly.
but as you pointed out, nothing more annoying that some chavy looking corsa with purple HID lights lol

i have some arriving soon Rhory, il give u a heads up.

thanks for the positve comments guys.

the box you see is the ballast. it needs this to 'up' the voltage going to the bulb. without it your battery would frazzle.

its a high/low bulb, but to change from high to low, all it does is pull the bulb back with a magnet thats in the back of the bulb, this just lifts the beam up.

hard to explain, but ill get some pics up tomorrow.


literally just replaced the bulbs, connected everything up, connected it up to the battery, and jobs a good un.
