Title: Headlights
Post by: prestigesec on 12 April 2008, 00:42:30

Just a quick one can you change the HID lamps on the omegas to anything brighter? I know this sounds daft but havnt actually bought my omega yet hopefully next week should have her, just see lots of people saying 6000hids????? The car is a 98 R Elite estate with HIDS already

Never known anyone want o change HID's on an omega before.

Filament bulbs yes.......coz there rubbish.

4.3k HID's are the brightest, tho dunno what omega HID's are as standard.

The 6k ones will have more of a 'bluey' tint to them.......and wont be quite as bright  :y

I put 6000K bulbs in mine when I had to replace them as one bulb had gone.

I got the 6000's cos they were the cheapest I could find (by quite a lot)

The 4300K's have a better light output,  I would pay a little more to get those if I had to do it again.
