Don't go HIDs if you are thinking about staying legal. Also the glare is quite bad to other drivers as they output up to 300% more light (this includes the area outside the main beam which is where the glare comes from).

If you are looking to change your halogens to whitest lights - be warn that they actually output LESS light than the yellow ones dues to tinting the bulb blue. The whiter/bluer it is, the less light you actually get. That said I use Philips bluevision myself. Crystal vision and diamond vision are bluer as well but have less light output and less LIFE (as they need to increase light output when they tint it too blue).

If you are looking for good bright halogens - try the philips xtreme power +80% bulbs.

Does anyone know what bulbs are used in interior of the 2011 models? Not the map lights but the two lights near the front that come on when you unlock the car. Unless those are the map lights :S

Bruno, HID's are legal provided you also install washerjets for them.

every car that comes factory with HID has washer jets and when we do a bullbar at work on a car that has HID's we have to remove all the plumbing and jets from the bumper and reinstall them to work with the new bullbar so the car remains legal and roadworthy.

Hey guys,

Ive got these headlights on the way and im pretty keen on installing the red glow "Demon Eyes" somehow.

http://www.soundmancaraudio.com/public/ ... jpg?c=e470

Dose anyone have any experience or seen any how tos on this as i cant find any!

any1 with smarts.... would it be ok to put the red led onto the parkers when the low beams are off.... but then lows are on the red led goes off???

please help guys =)

Brad

outright illegal.

any red light on an vehicle in Australia MUST be on the back of the vehicle and wired into the tail lights or brake lights

coloured lights on a vehicle are illegal.

white facing fowards, yellow/orange for indicators.

you can have yellow running lights on the sides of the car and on when the car is in motion (like large trucks have so you can tell how long they are at night )

lol thank man. im well aware. i have red led front grille lights....

non the less.... i want them. lol

yeah there called clearance lights. also yellow fog lights are legal too

foglights are actually meant to be yellow to reduce reflection off fog or rain when they are used.

which is also why they are wired onto the parker lights and a 2nd switch so you turn them on when you turn low beam off.

Ok. So basically....if I get the HID conversion kit...its illegal cos I don't have washers. What is the brightest white OR most legal blue I can go?? I've seen the bulbs at super cheap auto, are they any good (eg....arctic blah blah)

I suggest you read the ink in the first post of this thread... http://intellexual.net/hid.html

That should answer your questions, and perhaps make you decide not to use HID's in non-projector housings... Just my 10cents. It's just not nice for the other motorists and imo is dangerous for yourself and others.

Legality is another issue and depends on the copper you get - Technically the rule breaker currently is the "excessive glare" component, not so much the lack of washers or levellers....

For the record, I have 4500K PIAA, Halogen bulbs, and they are the whitest and brightest I have ever used - excellent

Yeh I got the illegal bit...I'm not planning on getting HIDs...just ensuring they are illegal for my own knowledge....and I definitely do not want to blind oncoming traffic. I just wanted to know what the brightest legal bulb was (that also won't blind other drivers etc) . Maybe I'll try your bulb.

Thanks : )

Just don't get the brightness (lumens/watts) confused with colour temperature (Kelvins)

As you increase colour temperature, you actually get less light output (given the same wattage bulb) - They won't light up the road any better.

Brightness is determined by the lamp wattage - Anything more than 55-60w and you risk melting light housing components. High beam is never meant to be 'on' for extended periods, so they are at a higher wattage around 80-100w

I tried looking on ebay for your bulbs- $99??
