182 xenon bulbs

[syko6288]

from what i belive the standard xenons are 4300k would i be able to just buy some d2s 6000k bulbs or would i need a full kit ? also is there any differance between the 35w and the 50w/55w

I think you're a little confused.

You can fit any D2S HID lamp you like. Why would you need a HID kit when your car already has one??

i no i have hids/xenons but i am wanting to upgrade the bulb because when i had my corsa i had 6000k's in and loved them and was wanting to know if i were to get some 6000k bulbs would that be fine or would i need to buy a full 6000k kit

Ah, you have a 182 cup then?

Your car uses D2S HID lamps.

If you can find a 6000k D2S lamp, then you can fit it. I doubt they'd do an aftermarket kit for a car that already has xenons, that's just crazy.

so if i find some d2s 6000k bulbs i can use them with standard ballasts and everything ??

Yeah. D2S is the fitment, and 6000k is the colour temperature, so any D2S lamp will fit in the Clio.

thanks thats what i was aiming for because i did not know if i had to change ballasts with it being a different colour temperature

cheers

Why are you so set on going too 6000k anyway? They'll be a touch more blue but less bright..

+1. 4300k is the best to go for, hence why that's OEM.

I used to have 6K in mine...It looked good but was no-where near as good as the beam cast by the 4300K (standard ones)

 

[syko6288]

since i had them in my corsa ive loved 6000k there so clear and bit brighter

Brighter than 4300k? Or brighter than the halogen bulbs you had in there?
