bosch hid kits.....?

[Dan318-is]

resources, time, effort, is it really worth it if they are not going to leak anyway?

baring in mind i dont have any drills, limted tools, no access to light and shelter etc

you poor thing...

im just saying, if it was my install, I wouldn't have left it like you have...

[Dan318-is]

Stu. if my lights ever get water in them, even though the bulbs and lights covers are sealed, the ballasts are up mounted, and the bonnet closed with seals too il eat my hat; youd have to drive it through puddles like a tosser to get them wet, which you should surely avoid when driving anyway as everything will be hot and water will be cold

il tell you what, iv got them in the boot; il put them on tomorrow; what i dont understand is if liam says they fit, why did dan have to modify the backs?

[stuartgallafant]

Seriously, when your driving in rain, around the headlights is the wettest part of your E30. All those slats in the vertical grill.....
where else can it go?

[liam012]

sorry to elaborate:
there is a rubber grommet - i drilled a hole in the cap and fit the grommet - when i fit the cap the ar$e of the bulb pushes against the grommet and it pops out a mm or two.
i used their funky loom! seems allright fornow but i would like to wire in something a little more oem looking so will avail of fusebox then.

[stuartgallafant]

DanThe' set of these looks the best wired IMO... does that make any sense?

thats his store, although he doesnt seem to have any for sale at the moment;

try and give him an email mate!

[liam012]

must say i am well and truely impressed
the light difference is incredible
especially on these unlit country roads with no line markings and whatnot
alot more relaxing at night as i'm not squiting trying to see drunk peopl lying at the side of the road...!

[blingsta]

guys, ive just got a set of these (second hand) from a zoner, the difference in lighting is amazing.. However, small problem... when head lights go on, they flash like police headlights !! on and off 1 at a time.. to prevent this, we have dis connected the side light wire from the unit, ive got angle eyes so all i get when sidelights are on is a nice ring !!! headlights now work without any probs but my check control comes on showing dipped beam no worky.... any way round this???

[Bob_S]

yeah bung a resistor between the 2 wires on the unplugged light loom

[blingsta]

is that for the check control not to come on or for the flashy headlights?

[stuartgallafant]

at least people will move out of your way!!!

theres some other people on ebay now selling the bosch hid lights check it if any one wants them

these are uk ebay shops look like the ones every one else brought

[caneswell]

They are 100 % genuine "Bosch HID" http://www.bosch-hid.com/english/index.htm

Got to love the Chinese! I think the "Made in Germany" may be less genuine though, or they have renamed a town/factory to Germany!

But they do seem very cheap and you are all still happy yes?

[DJ_B4L]

any one had any problems with there bosch kit yet? i might be looking to a get a set soon aswel

[stuartgallafant]

[stuartgallafant]

dude i have a spare lens for u

[blingsta]

coolio mate... did you manage to fit yours?? how hard is it and whats the process?

[DanThe]

FYI

Yes it is illegal, but so it should be on a sh1t heap like that renault.
If they had fitted them to an E30 I can guarantee they would of passed the test.

As you can see from this picture of my beams the pattern is clearly not 'scattered'

[blingsta]

are they legal with clear lenses????

[cliffybabe]

Yes but Dan as you are passing cars on the left your lights are illuminating their cabins, which means you are dazzling them.

The only way round this is to fit a filter on the cut off sheild or fit a HID projector.

[DanThe]

But we drive on the left.

It will pass an MOT at least

[Demlotcrew]

Agreed we do drive on the left, but when you are overtaking cars on motorway/country roads etc just note how much light is getting into all of the cars mirrors.

A very simple yet difficult to execute mod would solve this.
