    Currently still have H3c bulbs in the car which are poor at best :(

    Thinking of getting a HID kit but wondering if anyone has any recommendations? preferably something that isn't going to draw to much attention but really improve visibility.

    Is it best to get a kit from conceptz or go with ebay?

    There are problems with HID.

    1. Legal?
    2. Warmup time (black out when switching from hi-beam to low beam)
    3. Have to mod this problem away
    4. The LED option should be considered

    I just got a $45 kit off eBay to use as a tester

    Work rather well

    As for not drawing attention you want 6000k

    And if you get high and low there is a grounding trick on the relay pexcom has listed that will solve that

    I have for sale a brand new HID kit from a group buy some time ago that I never got round to fitting to the car. I dont have a zed anymore.

    They are the modern cars standard light range, 4500K I think, not real blue and not too white, so should give you the good lighting without attracting attention from the Police.

    I have both high and low beam globes with ballasts and the full fitting kit, so you can do both while your at it.

    PM me and I can let you know how much,

    Thanks

    Thanks for the comments, I've been looking at the led kits, is there any preference on makes?

    I missed the group buy some time so unsure where to get them from other than eBay.

    Why don't you contact the member who ran the LED group buy, he is also a seller.

    Some years back, I fitted 35w 4500k HID's. The warm-up does suck a little but they light the road brilliantly (pardon the pun!). 55w are much too bright for low beam btw & above 4500k the output does start becoming noticeably blue.
    Plan to fit the gb LEDs soon to another Z & take some on-the-road before & after photos (comparing original Halogens / $100 PIAA bulbs & the LED kit).
