HID's/sidelights

Post by Gillen »

Which ones have people got on there polos (make and rating 6000k etc.)? Have you had any issues with the beam pattern being scattered due to the Polo lights not being projector style? Easy to fit?

Any pictures accompanying the details would be good ;)

I have fitted a set of 6000k xenons to my polo. Was easy to install although i had to take off by front bumper to do it.

Cant remember the make. There is a little bit of light scatter but not so much to warrant people flashing you.

Will try and post some pics this evening for you if not then tomorrow.

Did you order a set with the bulbs that're specifically for reflector style lights? H7R anti-glare i think are the bulb name.

Hids4u Ultimate kit. 2 years problem free now.

and 501 LED sidelights. Both ease to fit, never had to take bumper off or anything.
