Golf MKIV Headlight question

[djstorm]

So, I just bought an HID conversion kit (6000K H7 from http://ww.vvme.com/) and I am wondering about what kind of light to put them in? Suggestions? Where should I get them from? I'd love to get angel eyes, but I'm hoping to wire these myself and don't know what all is involved...

I've got a Black 2006 Golf MKIV...

Oh, you mean housings

Projector style is best, and you will need to modify the sheilds to correct the output. Unless you buy OEM HID housings.

I used the Hella triple round setup for the car, it's not perfect since the shields are modified by hand.

But then again to acheive the k-mart/wal-mart honda look just throw the bulbs into the current housings, and be cool.

Please do not put HIDs in stock headlamp housings.

This creates a huge amount of glare for oncoming drivers and is a hazard while driving. Think about the other people on the road.

Please and Thank you.

You also risk getting impounded if you are caught with projector Hids in Halogen reflector housings. The optics are completely different.

HIDs in reflectors are 10x worse than any fartcan/giant wing because not only do they look stupid, they are unsafe. I will ask Dan how many he's busted next time I see him. You can get away with Halogen projectors with your hid kit (like the FK lights), but even that's pretty ghetto. Best bet is to buy a similar HID projector from a HID equiped car, like a TSX then put them in your golf housing.

Jeff

If you put them in your Halogen Reflectors, I will personally come and Smash your H/Ls!!

Have a look at Helix Projectors, lots of success and no stress of FK or DEPOs

Sell the HID's, and buy OEM HID's or replica HID's
