Does anyone have these fitted??

I think we both covered the spread/spot question well Lou. Now I'm sorry I mentioned it at all. I'd be doing the same as you though as you can always get a second spread if it comes down to it and possibly use the spot for something or sell it if it doesn't work out.

One thing I didn't notice before is they list them as 6000K bulbs. If the supplier will put a lower temperature bulb in of around 4500K you are much better off. This is a more natural light and will be less harsh than the 6000K and higher temperature bulbs. If you look at what all the mainstream manufactures supply for various applications and as OEM it is 4000-4500K bulbs. Also the lower temperature bulbs have a longer life. 6000K will be very blue white and not as good to drive with.

Thanks Derek Perhaps I will ask this question..is 4500 still a whiteish light or is that temp starting to go yellow?

and don't be sorry...its good to know everyones point of view

The 4500K is still very white in colour, definitely not yellow.

4500k-5000k is the best range, its the closest to pure light. Ohh, Also its only illegal to use HIDs on LOW BEAM, not high in standard Headlight's. Kits do take this into account.

Please note the following disclaimer for hidrus.com.au

• HID lighting is suitable for off road use only. It is not ADR compliant or legal for road use on low beam. May be used in all auxiliary lighting and high beam.

Ok Just bought some...slightly different to the ones that I posted a link of although they look the same.

The ones i have bought have a better adjustable mount..also had the bulbs upgraded to 4300k.

So as soon as I get them I will post a review if people are interested.:)

"Also its only illegal to use HIDs on LOW BEAM, not high in standard Headlight's. Kits do take this into account"|...... errrr close but no cigar

My understanding of the ADR's for HID is that to use HID's in normal day to day driving (not a cmp vehicle) is they must be fitted with an automatic washer system and automatic level adjustment.

My lesser other car has HID headlights from the factory for low and high beam (a small metal shield in the light assembly moves up or down when I change from low to high beam to change the focus of the light). So i have HID for both. The car is fitted with automatic head light washers and level adjustment as required by the ADR's.... When you start the car at nights the lights move down and then slowely lift automatically to acount for the load in the car.

I'm talking after market retro fitting, your talking factory current model vech, big difference.

The both have to meet ADRs.. I looked into this and was told that if I HID I had to have a washer and leveler. retro or new, without was illegal. Note this was also from the places I was going to buy the lights from!

That would make sense to me, could you imagine some one with HID's on low beam pulling a heavy trailer up a hill would be blinding for on coming traffic

So they are finally here after a mess up with a parcel going missing in the post.

Ian fitted them today. However can't give you any working picks as the relay has pooped itself so as soon as that is changed fingers crossed it all works and can take pics of the light to see how they fair.

Sorry not great pics but you get the idea:)
