Experience with HIDS Direct LTD

[markjay]

Manufacturers fit 4300K daylight-white bulbs since they have the highest Lumen rating (as others said) i.e. they are the brightest.

The original HID lamps produce the blue tint when viewed from some angles through use of prism lenses (and not through use of blue bulbs...).

These lenses are quite expensive, and cheap after-market HID kits simply use higher colour temperate bulbs e.g. 6000k or 8000k to produce the blue tint, then up the Watt from 35W to 55W to compensate for the warmer bulbs being darker in comparison to the cooler 4300k bulbs. This is a cheap way of imitating the results of a proper HID lamp.

Why anyone would want to do this to their car is beyond me, but then again I never did quite get the go-faster stripes that were all the rave in the seventies... yet everyone seemed to be fitting them. And I wasn't a Grandpa then so I guess it is nothing to do with age.

The ugly stripes match the ugly wheels. There, I've said it.

Each to their own!

This is the first thread I have ever seen where the thread starter has had no support whatsoever from any other contributor, which in itself says a lot about his reasonings. This chap is like a petulant child with a puerile brain which fails to see his own shortcomings. He quite clearly has no regard for anyone beyond himself, including the law. It frightens me that such a childish being can have charge of a moving vehicle. His posts make me squirm.

The act of dazzling other drivers is covered by the Road Traffic Act and by the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations irrespective of the type of bulbs used, and I do not believe that this twerp has been stopped four times by the police "and won". Is this some type of contest then??

And yes I have a grandpa's brain - thankfully!

Rite - I am now off to enjoy my evening with my beautiful stunning wife and daughter to which my wife has even stated not to bother even getting in to this stupid and idiotic behaviour with a few old men who quite clearly should not be on a forum that is too advance for them as they seem to be living back in the 1920s when cars were at their slowest and had no style whatsoever. She also hopes that everyone who does have their halogen fog lights on the road will blind all of you who moan about it!

What is this utter drivel meant to establish?

You have quite clearly stated that you no longer use your foglamps for their intended purpose, preferring instead to have them switched on for 'cosmetic reasons' (your words not mine). This indicates that you have no regard for other road users or the law. Its got F@@K all to do with 'gettin wiv da times innit'. It just means that you are a tosser. Comments (English in properly constructed sentences preferred) welcome.

Hey Howard,

Good to hear from you again buddy - I still remember the good old days we used to have with our banter on the forum......

I value your and everyone else's opinion and am fully aware that HID kit in fogs has no use in the fog but just wanted to d something different and mainly for cosmetics. Even though I have bi xenon headlamps night driving with HID kit in fogs in great on unlit roads.

People can have ago at me all they like saying that I blind people but each to their own.

PS. I like your new collection of motors.....

When did it all go wrong?

I think about here:

"People can have ago at me all they like saying that I blind people but each to their own."

 

[markjay]

When did it all go wrong?

A lot of people do silly things to their cars, and many fit bizzare-looking bulbs for 'cosmetic' reasons.

Most are either ignorant to the effect this has on other road users, or just indifferent to it.

But I rarely come across someone who actually thinks it right, let alone try and defend his position...

 

[meeeb]

When did it all go wrong?

How about here:-

Look forward to blinding you on the road grandpa if I ever see you.

Only stopped as my HID KIT was soo bright and I will continue to do modify my vehicles as I please. After all at the end of it I won every time!

I seriously think this chap needs to see a psychiatrist.

Well if you're going to comment on peoples inability to construct a sentence is basic English. I do think you to pay a little more attention to your own spelling. Your spelling of "F@@K all" is atrocious. Moreover it should read, "It's got FCUK all to do with it, you twunt"

Now you really are being offensive.
