HID Driving Lights

Havn't used headlight conversion kits yet, but have put kits on driving lights. I initially bought a set of Ashdown HID's (one pencil and one broadbeam). Absolutely awesome, especially the broadbeam one(they are now on one of our trucks). I then got kits for another set of IPF lights i have (2 spot beams). I can tell you that I have had a fair share of driving lights over the years but these little IPF's with the HID kits in them are by far the best i have had. I can recommend the kits, but would suggest ( from my experience), to those wishing to convert to do it to broadbeam type or spot beams as oppossed to pencil beams to fully utilize the effective light gain.My spot beams give good coverage with the same distance as the pencil beam with an awesome white light. I have factory HID lights on my wife's car and they are good also. As for the kits, they are well made so I see no reason why they wouldn't be good for your headlights. Make sure they're not adjusted too high though. Kirsten (NSW)

Sounds awesome, how much would I expect to pay for a kit.
I'm running the IPF spots and I thought they were pretty good, but sounds like I need to try the HID.

Mr / Mrs vcbb ,

I agree with Kirsten - get HID broad beams . I have two Hella Predator HID broad beams and they go out further than my old Oscar pencils . They turn light into day .

Don't buy the Hella though , if you are ever going to do a creek crossing - they fill up with water VERY quickly and that's not good when it's muddy . I carry plastic bags now to cover them in water crossings .

Hi vcbb

HID is the way to go, more light for less power.

Our new HID Vision 8500 series are fantastic. I thought 120W Halogen globes were bright but HID is the way to go.

I have not done it yet ,, but would severly like to

Navara lights are crap ,, any way you look at it ,,and I have small spotties as well

Where do you get them from ,, and are those kits on eBay any good ??

Make sure you select colour of 6000K or less. otherwise light is too blue over this. At 6000K it is a very white, leaning towards blueish light. I would recommend 4300K, IMHO. 100 watt Halogen light is about 2300K (yellowish white).
