HID driving lights

[bushytas]

HI all

Im looking at buying some hid euro beam lights for the gu patrol.

My question is has anyone brought the cheap type hids off ebay e.g http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/55W-2-PCS...item35be6a636c

Im thinking of running 3, 7 inch and removing my 220 roo lites Is this a good or bad idea

I saw a thread somewhere where the HID lights had malfunctioned and cought fire doing bit of damage to the car. Not discouraging you but if you decide to get it done Safety+Quality dosen't equal to cheap.

Got the link if you want, PM me.

WOW i am very interested in the link.

Im guessing the manufacturers warranty wouldnt cover you're car burning to the ground

I've run them they are fine exactely like Piranha Cats, go the 9" they dont have covers and do shatter, I made lexen replacement for mine

Murray and Dave from Torq4x4 are doing 35w, 55w and 75w HID's that a bunch from the forum saw in action last week - awesome lights that smash Lightforce, etc HID's, and come with a 2 year warranty .... they are also about half the price of the other offerings and are exclusive in Australia (I.e. not the usual suspects on eBay).

75watt HID what an amazing light, taking off my 20" light bar as I miss the peretration and putting my 75 watters back on, 2. year warranty sounds good. IMO think Light Force are falling a bit behind especially with whats available on the market today. Might not need spread beam.

Ive shoved 75/90 watt hid's into my headlights aimed em down a bit and love em only bummer is there is a 5 sec delay when turning em on till they are real bright...on high beam my lightforce hit the road way before the hid's end just gotta love modern gadgets
