I've got Hella 4000 HID's on mine that the previous owner kindly put on it... it also has bi xenon headlights... (Which definitely help as the drivers are pencil beams.

Seem to work

I've had all sorts of lights but I still go back to the Rallye 4000 lights with a decent HID kit.

I had bought a few cheap chinese HID kits but recently learnt how much better the quality kits are.

The light colour is personal preferance. Only 4 weeks ago, I drove from Darwin to Bathurst, dropped into Sydney and then back to Darwin in 6 days. Then 2 weeks ago, I drove from Darwin to Perth, out to Karlgarin and back to Darwin in 10 days. I did Bathurst to Darwin in 43 hours and then return in 44.5hrs (It would have been 42.5hrs but the steaks are too good to pass at Pine Creek). I drove through 2 nights on the way to Perth and 1 night on the way back. I didn't suffer any eye strain that a few talk about with the whiter light.

I don't think you can get a better reflector than a glass reflector made by Hella but I'm currently researching projectors. I don't know much about them yet but there is a fair bit of discussion about them on this forum: HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum. I don't know of any forums discussing how good halogen lights are.

Happy Days

Thanks for that dads still a big fan of his 4000 Hellas he has had many sets over the years and i guess still loves them!! I actually have had a HID 100w highbeam kit in my prado 150 a year ago and really like the HID light i had 4300k colour and found it to be my favourite!

I have Hella Rallye 4000s with a HID conversion fitted to my 87 Rangie. I don't think they are anywhere near as good as my Fyrlyts, either the standard ones or the Nemesis.

That's interesting I'll pass it on good to know a comparison.

What HID kit was it. As I said previously, there is HID then there is HID. Those Poorer quality kits aren't worth the time it takes to fit them. The difference in their performance is like chalk and cheese.

No idea. I fitted them years ago. They still work, I just prefer the light output of the Fyrlyts.
