Allthough you might be able to get away with H1's but they will petrude higher.

that sounds pretty gay to me i couldn't justify 1500 for lights

yeh i could never justify that, thats like nearlly as much as i payed for my car, as if, so they are H3? ohh well at the top of the article they say H1 but ill beleive you morgz, H3 globes it is

you're right Morgz, they are H3's, what was I thinking!!!?????

Well with Vl lights being really (rap , and me doing a lot of nightshift where i drive 50km each way in the dark through Kangaroo infested country, it could be a very worthwile mod if its going to save me writing my car off or flattening my cooler or similar. Different mods appeal to different people , where i would never spend money on bodykits or harlequin paint, i may consider better lights, all comes down to individuals and what our requirements are of our cars.

yeh but u can get a preety much just as good product for 20 bucks like i got, they are sick, once i9 have done the highbeams and parkers aswell i will take a pic of them and show u how good they are...ohhh yeh what are parker globes?? H?

chuck some spottys on the **** and get a roo bar Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

H? Park globes aren't H anything, they are just a standard 'wedge' base type globe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

here is a picture of my headlights, you guys take your pick which u like better, the $1,500, or the $30 ones i have, mine look preety damn good and give off more light than stock, and its also white.....i know which one i would choose Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Let's say that I want to install the Xenons. Actually first of all, who will install them? Secondly, how will they react in the VL headlight lens case? Will they get too hot and cause problems?

lol 1500 for light globes

GMH 30L ... i know of a place that sells like 3+ different aftermarket xenon or more correctly called 'HID' kits.... these are ****in good kits, (ie identical to latest model Bmws) they start around $700 or so... and go up depending wat brand u go... top ones around $1500... they fit all cars, headlight lenses can easily take it...they will get ***n hot, but its not hot enough to actually melt / damage the plastic unless u install them wrong... PM for more details...

as for standard bulbs i do believe the philips 5300k (diamond / blue?) are the best avaliable, but yea they are a touch expensive..

Will they get too hot and cause problems? you install them yourself, the kits are D.I.Y I've been told that they will be fine with our lenses!

why the hell would anyone pay that much for xenon lights?! New genuine Holden lights with good quality bulbs are more than good enough!

i'm spending about 8,000 on a paint job for a car i paid 4,000 for so i would definatley spend 1500 on lights cause they look awsome, i'm planning on spending about 20,000 altogether doing up my car and making it a show car, but one i can still drive around
