What a crazy idea, i trust we all have 6000k then?

so definately worth it?

powerbulbs don't do the 2 for 1 deal on my bulb size :| (HB4)

I'm just worried about causing an accident and being done for it cause of some legal problem.

can see them on ebay for ~ £110 delivered, good price? Will be going for the 6000k temperature

6000k is what I have. It has a faint blueish tinge to it. 8000k looked purple, and 4300k looked a little yellow but apparently is the most powerful.

Remove the existing bulb.
Plug the wiring into the ballast input leads.
Fit the new bulbs
Plug the ballast output leads into the bulbs.
Mount the ballasts somewhere safe in the engine bay.

Job done.

Throw some new lamp bodies on at the same time, they're only about £15+vat each.

Yea its an easy job (If you get a good kit), its the mounting of the ballast thats the hardest part

I currently have the most expensive legal halfords bulbs in my, i would rate them about 5 vs HID they are very similar to the philips so i hear!

I tried those, and then i changed one bulb with a philips vision plus bulb. I could see the road a good 20m further with the philips bulb.. the difference was amazing, i was not expecting any improvement to be honest.

I was going to order a HID conversion set from http://www.hids4u.co.uk/ untill I heard you need to mod them to fit facelift (04+) CTR's. In the guide I saw a dremel, erm not for me thanks.

I think i'm just gonna get the brightest bulbs you can get, which I think are Polarg? :confused:

The standard lights on my car on truely shockingly poor
