HID conversion for E39

[T6]

Re: Xenon light ? I like.

So the effect is really the nice white "Xenon" light right ? Or will it look like "cheapo blue light" on a lot of jap car on the road ?

Bro, as I mentioned earlier, whether the light turns out blue-ish or not depends on how many k is your xenon bulb. The one I have is 6,000k and it is white and not blue. If u go above dat, it will lean towards blue in colour.

There are some who juz change the halogen bulbs to Philips Diamond Vision etc to have the white colour effect though the bulb is still halogen. Less than $70 per pair but the throw is not be as far and intense in my opinion.

Bro, m interested to take a look, can compare with my factory fitted ones. Buzz me & we meet sometime this week night. Bulbs wise our 6000k is just right, I'm on Philips D2S. Wilson just change to 6500k ones which he bought from a US website & we did a comparison, no diff for the xtra 500k. 8000k ones dam blue man, quite a risk to take for those aftermarket convertions. Btw any luck with the kit? Let me know if you're keen on the ACS set, I'll link you up with the seller.

Ah-ya, if ever kenah stopped by white ants.........talk nicely to him and explain that you suffer from night blindness and that the xenons are there to help you see better in the dark and as such, minimise the risk of an uncalled for accident. :laughlik:

.....and if it so darn happens that the officer who pulled you over turns out to be a class A chio-bu.....you might even wanna consider telling her that had it not been for the xenons....you might have rear-ended her tounge in cheek of course

hi -

can your same setup be used for '04 e46 sedan?
and can i get my fog lights to match the headlights if i were to change them?
Thanks!

There are Hella xenons for e46 as well. Whether the same set or not, I am too sure but I think it shd be the same coz e46 also using H7 type headlamps. And yes, there are people who install xenon on fog lamps as well. The supplier can supply u as long as u tell him your bulb holder type. For your e46 fog lamp, shd be either H11 or H4, I can't remember liao.

thx T6 for your comments.
can you recommend any garage that i can do the conversion?
or should i just go to the workshops page and pick one?
will have to head down to the next meet to check out everyone's ride...

I think firstly, u must determine what brand of xenon u wanna buy. Price varies with brand. There are brands like Xelux, Brightstar, Super Vision and Hella etc.

I chose Hella because it is the same brand used in factory-fitted BMWs that have xenons. So I had to pay a bit more for that brand but not that much more.

I only have the contact to the guy who sells Hella xenons. For othe brands, Autobacs etc may carry and they may throw in free installation. In my case, I went with the accessories shop that the xenon seller recommended and had to pay for installation separately at $90.

Hope that clarifies. I do not know whether the workshops listed in the forum folder sell or install xenons or not.

Your reasoning for getting Hella makes sense.
I will probably do the same.
Can I get the contact information of your Hella guy?

I think these xenons are popular coz they are the H7 type and fit alot of cars.

So what is your feedback on the xenon? Shiok or not? Like driving with flourescent lites rite?

 

[Silversurfer]

Not had a chance to use them in really dark roads yet. Maybe tonite!
