Plus S/V/C70'S are H7 bulbs in dip and main beam.

Heh thanks! I'll have a closer look tomorrow and get the camera out. One thing for sure is that I can't get the day running lights off. Where ever I put that little screw, it only affects the sidelights but not the main beam. I remember a thread on this many months ago and I think the conclusion was that most but not all 850s can switch them off [link click here] and also [link click here]. If anyone's in Leam, feel free to have a go but I gave up last winter!

LOL...Its almost like daylight. Only downside is the main beam looks really weak and yellow!...hardly worth using

Does anyone know how to adjust the aim on S60 lamps. I cant find an adjustment anywhere and one is definately pointing a little skywards

looks stunning mate,you have got me tempted

another thing to add the to do list

**aeroresh** · Monday 26th September 2005, 17:01

Dont think too hard about it....if you've got the cash its a no brainer really

**mike 850** · Monday 26th September 2005, 18:18

can you still do this even with the driving lights on, i tried that screw on the lights, it made all the lights stop except the light glow from the headlights, i want hids, they are h1s on mine

**spesh** · Monday 26th September 2005, 18:27

Group buy anyone???? Im looking at getting a set, best place???????

**pzorb** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 12:21

So does anyone know whether the ballasts will limit the amount of light produced when the day-running lights are on? I emailed that hids4u bloke and got no reply!
Can someone who has the kit switch their day-running lights back on to see what happens?
Thanks

**SaffronC70** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 12:33

Guys, these are great lights from Hids4U.

I organised a group buy a while back, but no one was interested.

The price Aero got is a good one !!

Give em a go, you won't be disapointed.

ive ordered a set from hids4u, just gotta wait coz there outta stock atm, im also trying to find out if running lights will effect them? anyone know if 6000k is a good look?

**Vikingxl** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 15:00

Seriously tempted as most of my driving is done at night does anybody local have these fitted so i can come and check them out?

**aeroresh** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 15:32

You can still get them at £179.99 + £10 p+p on ebay. Follow this link:-

Ebay HIDS4U.co.uk

Mike, The ones on mine are 6000k, they're pretty blue but not OTT (See photo on previous page)

**pzorb** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 16:52

Mike, do tell if you find out about the running lights eitherway - it's the only thing stopping me buying a set atm!

**mike 850** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 21:05

yeah will keep you posted, aeroresh they look sweet, does that model have a glow from the headlights all the time? i might just leave my headlights on constantly instead

When you say glow, do you mean daytime running lights?

If so, no Ive had them turned off by the stealer....£25 for about 15 secs work!

**Paul ABZ** · Sunday 2nd October 2005, 22:26

I think that you'll find the lower the HID colour temp, the brighter the lights will be (extra lumens/lux). There is an MOT fail coming your way if you go for the really high temps and get the blue/purple colours. I think that around 6000K is about the limit that you can probably get away with (unless the MOT station is your mate). So try to go for as low a colour temp as poss as this will be even brighter and no probs for the MOT.

Last year, my local MOT station was about to fail my Audi TT HID's as he sensed a 'touch of blue in the colour'. I pointed out that they were standard from Audi and there was nothing I could do about it!

Dude the glow IS your daytime running lights. When u turned the switch off u switched from main beam to day running lights. Anyone that owned a Volvo 440 will remeber this. You need to get the dealer to disable the daytime running lights.

ok well im seriously confused coz then

the screw under the light switch only does the "sidelights" then, thought it was for the daytime running lights
