HID

Post by RoosterMcSavage »

hey, i've looked on here and cant find anything about it so just need some help. i have bought a corsa b off of my mate and am wanting to put my HID kit from my old astra into it. I know that the sizes are obviously different but does anyone know where i can get a adapter from? Ebay seems to be not very helpful as im not sure what i am looking for on there and they seem to not be clear on what they are converting to. Any help would be awesome cheers guys!!

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I'm not sure if the ballasts are different but I think they are

just looked on ebay and spoke to a woman called Susan who was more than helpful, ive managed to buy the bulbs and connecting leads for 14 quid as the ballasts i have are compatible only downside was that it was only 6000k and not the 8000k i wanted but hey ho considering when i got the HID kit originally it was a steal!!!

Well with 55's everyone is going to be flashing you unless there pointed at the ground

But with the 35 they arent to bright on dips that, so you theoretically see more with 35s

Only dicks use 55s :lol:
