eob 7 Posted April 8, 2009 Just fitted some new Valeo headlights to the 205, really freshens up the old girls face. While I was in there, I fitted some HID's for a laugh and found that, while the light is nothing short of pure awesome, the Valeo headlights did get fairly interestingly hot. Sure looked good though. Anyone fitted HID's succesfully? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marc t 0 Posted April 8, 2009 My Hid's in my BMW seem colder than the oe bulbs. Have you compared them to standard bulbs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matty_gti 20 Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) IIRC the HID's actualy give off less heat than standard bulbs. Where do you get new valeo headlights, also are the HID the blue lights that shine brighter. Any motorfactors and yes they are depending on what 'K' kit you have. Edited April 9, 2009 by matty_gti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted April 9, 2009 I guess those with HID's have not had any problem with the inner silvering melting / dulling etc? I think early HID's could dull perspex lenses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
