Lights

[Not quite a GTR]

Im looking at changing the headlight bulbs as im still running the shitty standard ones, i cant afford hid kit but i want to get some xenon bulbs any recomendations?
im also thinking of getting some led side light bulbs is this a good idea?

get some philips Head lights they are expensive but they are good. If I was you I would save up a bit and get a cheap set of HID's a lot brighter while driving at night

HID kits now start form the 150 qiud mark so save your pennies.Or Philips Power@Night range is awesome and i run them. LED sidelights are legal as long as they are displaying a white light. So no chav-spec blue ones.

got halfords super brilliance in mine, better than the originals and there not expensive, £15 each but i think there may be a buy 1 get 1 free starting soon. cant complain at them for the price, didnt see the point in paying much for bulb upgrades on the almera so these are well worth it.

research again.... HID kits arent alll blue, it depends on the K value of the kit you get, ranges from white to blue/purple!

and i apologise if you meant the LED sidelights lol

Can confirm halfords do a buy 1 get 1 free on super brilliance bulbs - just bought a pair yesterday - it works out to £15 and they're fairly decent.

thanks everyone im sorted ive got some nice white LED sidelights and some of those nice cheap cheerful halfords briliance bulbs.

i had the rally ones but they burnt out the wiring to the headlamps

box says you have to uprate the fuse to 20 Amp, did you do that?

 

[scott b]

and melt the plug!

 

[CoV]

that happens on almeras in general though .....

 

[downrodeo]

white LED sidelights - are they a straight swap? much difference to originals?

 

[CoV]

much brighter, actually white not yellowy and straight swaps

 

[downrodeo]

nioooce

the Halfords LED side lights are not bad for the price. I paied 7 quid for mine online (10 at Halfords the Halfords ones also has a voltage regulator unlike the cheap led sidelights that just stop working after 3 months

(Expensive sidelight/Cheap Sidelight)

lol those "expensive" sidelights arent special, all theyd have inside would be a resistor shared by 2 of the leds, the single led should also have a resistor too.

only set ive ever had was the quad led lamps, worked well though

Where can these HID kits be found?
