Re: 55W Philips Patent Xenon HID Kit ?
FYI, I'm busy researching these a little, so far it looks like Philips no longer make HID kits, and those on the market are fakes.
Will give you the links when I'm done!

Re: 55W Philips Patent Xenon HID Kit ?
Die H nommer vooraan is die tipe gloeilamp wat jy op jou voertuig het. Die goed verskil in vorm en ook by die kragproppe se patroon. Die slim ouens kan dalk beter verduidelik. Jy kry die nommer in die boekie , seker onder bulbs of so iets. Of sommer hier op die webtuiste.

Sorry, Philips don't make the ballast for kits anymore, but do make the actual HID bulbs and harnesses:
http://www.mobilehid.com/philips-hid-review.htm
Here's Philips' official site where you can check if your kit is fake or real Philips:
http://www.apr.lighting.philips.com/burner/
There are so many fake kits out there, just be careful you don't get caught! Stephan please let us know how well they work. I've heard a few guys saying the HID's won't work properly with H4 lenses, but I'm wondering if this is true because Philips and like have different models for different lenses, H1, H7, H4 etc.

Het die verskil op die eienaar van LA Sport se bakkie self gesien, glo my ek stel belang. Het eintlik reeds 'n afspraak gemaak vir maandag. Hy het my ook gewaarsku dat daar 'n klomp fakes op die mark is.
Dankie vir almal se insette.

Re: 55W Philips Patent Xenon HID Kit ?
Stephan, one more thing... Safari Centre sell an aftermarket standard H4 bulb with similar output and colour temp to an HID. When I bought my bakkie it had a set of these in. I have one of them in the garage, will post the brand name this evening. Heard they around R400 for a set!

Here the H4 bulbs I mentioned above:
They called Narva RPW 55/60W's... made in Germany.

Stephan, not trying to sway your opinion, but have a read at the topic on 4x4Comm Forum, very interesting and informative:stephanvaneeden wrote:Dankie man. Dink ek gaan maar daai xenons 'n try gee.

Re: 55W Philips Patent Xenon HID Kit ?
Dankie, so vinnig daardeur gescan. My plan is om eers seker te maak my ligte gooi in die regte rigting en hoogte voor ek die mod doen. Wil niemand verblind of van die pad afry nie. Die legal issue - wel daaraan sal ek maar dink. My vrou se kar het xenons in, moet se ek moes 'n helse prys eksta betaal by audi, daarvoor. Maar die kort en die lank, mens kan sien as jy in die nag ry.
Ek het klaar besluit ek gaan dit laat doen, sal op my tyd deur die thread op 4x4 com. gaan. Maandag is darem nog ver.
Moet my nie verkeerd verstaan nie, ek wil nie velde brand nie maar die toyots se ligte is maar swak. Het geen spots op die stadium op nie. Sal dit later oorweeg as ek die bumper replace.
Ek het bietjie geworry oor die fake goed aangesien dit oral vir 'n belaglike prys geadverteer word, dit is waarom ek besluit het om dit maar by LA Sport te laat doen. Dink nie hulle sal 'n kans vat wat hulle naam skade kan doen nie.
Die ander ding is, hoekom kom al hoe meer karre vandag uit met xenons. Glo nie dit is net vir looks nie.
Dankie vir al jou insette, ek lees nogsteeds. Smaak my jy het dit al ook oorweeg.
