Hello i own a civic type r 2004 was to get the hid conversion done but iam confused what bulb kit do i need to buy?? My bulb size is the h1 but some people have got h4 kits in their cars?? so iam confused can anyone help Thanks,
H1 for facelifted model. You need the bulb holders too. Ebay is your best bet for both. Don't be scared off by the cheap Chinese ones....they're all the same!
cheers. would it be a straight fitment if id bought the kit and the holders? i was looking at some h1 6000k 55w kits which are brighter then normal 35w
Yes they are a straight fit but just incredibly fidly on the passenger side. I've got the same 55w kit too, don't see why not given the price difference.
They will fail an MOT on our cars but I swap them out (including the ballasts) during MOT time anyway.
i got mine off ebay for my 2004 and came with the holders 6k for about 70 quid fiddly to fit and velcro'ed the slim ballasts to the plastic on inner wing wasnt too bad to fit but made a great improvement.
Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Going to shop for a set of h1 kits would probably go for the brighter 55w 6000k usual ones are 35w after my research,
Totally agree cheapest doesnt mean less quality they are all the same just make sure you get a good temperature rating 5000k or 6000k i find best, use ebay some of the ones from hong kong might take time but they get to you eventually, hope this helps
They was easy to fit and i didnt have to remove the bumper + my hands are massive, the driver side was a little tricky because of the water bottle in the way but i managed to wriggle it in (excuse the pun)
