Thanks for the HID Reflector Retro link Dave. Something else to put on the wish list...

Welcome to the forum by the way!

My headlight blew over the weekend. So I replaced both with Xenon super blue/white type lights, 55W. They were $68 for the pair. The difference between these and standard headlights is amazing. I don't see the point in upgrading the headlights to HID. You may as well get these 'legal' Xenon type lights for the suburban road, and use some HID spotties or normal spotties when out bush for additional vision.

I did the same, went for the Phillips White/blue.. massive difference.
Them with the Lightforce HID's on high beam its very well lit up, now for an LED bar..

Here is another link to these retrofitted projectors. Lots of good pics.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Micks...79539442101843

He was very responsive (got back to me in like 15mins last night), I am however still tossing and turning if it is worth $450ish plus a day of my life to fit them up VS $39 for some Narva 120s. Its a lot of money, big job to fit them and pretty risky. Hmmm... decisions decisions...

It should be that much money because of labour. It's a pretty big job to open a headlight assembly, make a custom projector and mounting for it and put it back together.

That's for the kit only. Got quoted an additional $300 to fit them. Total fitted would be $750ish.

And it is still open to being defected.. Waste of $$$ I think.

I've been down the track of HID kits, been using the Philip x-tremeVision H4 globes - but the globes seem to last only 12/18 months at $70 a pair. Back onto the original OE globes at the moment

Just came across new LED H4 hi low beam available

Have any PP members be using these yet?

Just saw those on FB an hour ago too. Surely not legal?

Heh Heh

Touché 😀
I have the narva plus 50 in mine. Wonder how long they will last? Good for around town, and when out bush the lightbar does the trick nicely

And you also win a Nobel prize for inventing the LED

I installed an HID conversion from http://www.delonixradar.com.au/ in WA about 4 years ago. No problems with the kit, it's been rock solid. Rubber boot fits ok, so no problems with water entry. Low beam is MUCH better, hi beam is a disappointment. Have had a few comments from other drivers about glare, even on low beam. Also, the reflectors are a bit discoloured near the bulbs - maybe heat or UV, I don't know.

I'm thinking about going back to conventional with upgraded bulbs.

Cheers
