Lighting Upgrade for GU

[mick.]

I think what people are saying is comparing those HOD bulbs to good HIDs and in particular projector HID is like comparing a Hyundai Excel to a Ferrari. They are no where near as good and never will be which is why all nearer cars have HID and some are going LED but the LED lighting I've seen will have to come a long way to get the distance of HID.

I used to have HODs in my patrol before I went projector HID and Ive got before and after shots. It's like comparing a candle to a headlight. There not bad for a halogen but there got nothing on HIDs especially projector HID.

HOD lighting is better then standard halogens but not as good as HID. Then Projector HID is better again.

Cheers Mick.

I totally agree with you Mick 100% and there is no comparison at all between the two, but i was just giving some options because not every one can go out and spend between $200 to $500 on lights coz of what ever commitment they have and its a cheap alternative for a slight improvement from standard and not a full blown upgrade as you, the other users and i have said in earlier post.

That's fine mate and I get what your saying but when you said originally the HOD bulbs where as bright as HID lighting that is a kick in the guts to guys like me who sell quality gear and it's also totally untrue. So I was just setting the record straight because if someone was to put those bulbs in there car thinking they where going to be as good as HIDs they would be disappointed. lol

Cheers Mick.

I have a brochure a few years old for the Gu. It has the lhd 4.8 with the option of HID.

I have a picture of the headlights your talking about somewhere. I'm got there part numbers here for the aftermarket version which I'm trying to find a way of getting some of the headlights into the country so I can see if there's room for doing a quad projector conversion.

They actually have HID low beam but halogen highbeam but these lights would give you endless projector options.

Cheers Mick.
