    Default Which HID kit to buy?

    My Nova lights are awful so just been browsing the bay and there are so many kits available, anyone got any recommendations which one to buy?

    I know I want 6000k H4's but want them to work like normal lights, does that mean I need hi lo kit or something like that so I can have normal and main beam or am I missing the point completely?

    You'll want a high/low kit so you get main and dipped beam.
    Make sure you get everything too, some of them dont sell the whole kit.

    I wouldn't recommend diane-shop HIDs tbh, my "6000k" ones are too blue and take a while to heat up.

    Mine were white and warmed up in around 2 seconds to be usable and around another 5-10 seconds to be at their max.

    Halogens on left, HIDs on right (both 6000K - diane-shop on the inner lamps)



    Dipped beam:



    Main beam:



    You can see the colour difference...
