.. Ive been looking at putting a Bi-Xenon Hi/Low kit in the VL, ill be driveing it maybe 4 times a month after next week so ebay kit will do me fine Question i have is, Has anyone had them / got them / ect, thoughts?? they all look the same to me. (and yes i know they are illegal in VL's but what isn't) cheers Ben

ive seen them on VS and some VL commodores and they look pretty good. Just don't get the really really bright ones (16000 or 32000?) cause they piss everyone off and attract too much attention.

If they go in im only looking at 6000K. try to stay out of trouble a little. ---------- Post added 16-06-10 at 11:41 ---------- These to be precise http://cgi.ebay.com.au/EDX-v1-HID-H4...item3cade9c153 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/EDX-v1-HID-H4-H-L-Xenon-Kit-HOLDEN-VL-VN-VR-VS-VT-/260615815507?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cade9c153)

has anyone had these in there car? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/XENON-HOD-550...#ht_3525wt_913 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/XENON-HOD-5500K-H4-LOW-HIGH-BEAM-BULBS-COMMODORE-60-55W-/350285777531?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item518ea8ca7b#ht_3525wt_913) there a shItload cheaper than a hid kit, might be interesting to see if theres any benifit. cheers

Man those show pony blue lights are annoying. I was sitting at the lights getting blinded by a guy 5 cars back hitting my rear view mirrors. Felt like road raging on him I pretty much had to have my head in the passenger seat to avoid them.

I investigated gutting the insides of the standard VL headlight and putting new parts in, in the form of projector style headlights with HID's. Could have done this for less than $500. Wouldn't be hard to do, but the legallity part is what got me. I believe I would need to install self levelers and washers to comply with ADR's.... and then have them engineered. Cost = way more than what I could afford for headlights... Standard Headlights on the VL are shithouse... but don't really want to just put HID bulbs in them as other ppl get pissed at you blinding them (not to mention that they are illegal).

Im pretty sure all HID have electric adjusting headlights / self leveling, but washers are just an option and are bumper bar mounted generally. ---------- Post added 17-06-10 at 09:14 ---------- See these headlights, they are actually just 'reflector' headlights they just take a normal bulb where it looks like it has a 'projector'

Just point them down a bit more, they are that much better then standard that even pointing them straight down you'll get more light.

u cannot run HID lights in a reflector headlight, you will flood light everywhere and piss everyone off. between 4000-6000k has the most Lumens, above 6000k and it drops off quite quick.

Yeah I was more saying if its just the look your after you can build a reflector style headlight with some good h4 bulbs.

Felt like road raging on him I pretty much had to have my head in the passenger seat to avoid them. people who have high intencity blue lights, and those who use fog lights on normal days, are dumb c@#ts. simple Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I got HID's in my VL, been pulled up 3 times not a problem, plus just hide the box a little.

**88holden** i have those lights in my vl in high and low beems. they work heaps better than standard ones. there not blue when there on they are a realy white light. I highly recomend them. you can buy them cheaper than that too. If you go to the roxbough park auto1/rare spares they sell them for about $30

anyone know the difference between 35 and 55 watt Kits? 55's much brighter / more blue?? agressive: What kit have you got mate, and what intensity?

If you go to the roxbough park auto1/rare spares they sell them for about $30 im after a whiter light so im gonna give them a go now. did you gain any distance using these globes? cheers man

i drive around the city most of the time and not at night much but i think there would be a gain in distance there are heaps brighter.

i bought a pair on saturday. im really happy with them, i think there on par distance with the phillips blue visions but they are a muh whiter light which is what i was looking for. i hope they last. cheers

I just brought those HID's. the whole kit, should be here wednesday, if i start getting in trouble ill put those globes in instead. (car will be driven like 4 days a month after this week so should be all good)

Colour depends on what temperature bulb you get, but the more colour you want the more light loss you get. for the most light output you want around 4000-6000k, if you get purple 12000k you will have **** all light output. 35watt HIDs are plenty, and if you only using a reflector headlight 55s would be extremely overkill. At the end of the day, hids in relfector headlights = gay, and i hope you get raped by the po po Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
