Xmas light refurb

Hi guys. I've just got some new clear lenses to replace my old J-spec ones and have decided to do a full refurb. Thinking of going down the HID route but not too sure how. A search has left me more confused than when I started.

 

Does a HID conversion just do the dip beam or dip & full?

 

Would you normally do the fogs as well?

 

Is there anything I can do with the sidelights?

 

Is this info correct for J-spec?

Dipped Beam - HB3 (9005)

Full Beam - HB3 (9005) The lugs will need to be trimmed

Sidelights - w5w

Fog light - H3

 

Cheers

Do a search on Ebay for HID or there is a group buy on here.

 

You can do all the lights if you want (except sidelights). I personally would never do full beams as they take a few seconds to warm up and you cannot flash anyone.

 

 

The sizes are correct you mentioned, and fogs require a slight mod. If you do go for HID lights 4300k is the brightest, 6000k has a tint of blue, then 800k is even more blue and less bright and so on.

 

It is a 5 min job to fit HID lights, start off with 9005 dipped.
