I want a cheap and easy mod and i am looking at buying the cheapo xenon type globes but dont know what the right fitment is as i havent looked yet and i dont want 2 remove the globes until its roadworthy.
The lights do create a similar look but definately not the same, my mate fitted some to his car and it did make the car recognisable at night but it doesn't change like the proper HID ones do (they sort of change white-blue as going over bumps in the road, especially annoying when in your rear view mirror!) Whereas these are just a much cleaner white with a slightly blue constantly.
That's all they are, seriously - the painted glass acts as a colour correction filter. Some claim to have Xenon gas in the capsule, but I'm not convinced. Having worked in lighting, all you need to do to create the 'pure white' effect is to put a blue filter of the right shade over the lamp.
Some look green and crappy. Some look a really pure white, and pretty good. They can look really good, but choose carefully
&
Or stump up the cash for HIDs.
