h7 hid kit in 6000K

[jaxonhales19]

Hey guys,
I am planning a road trip with my folks this weekend but there's one problem. Bulbs of my MB W203 aren't working properly & before going anywhere, i wanted to get this issue fixed since i like to travel at night and currently, my major concern is to be able to get back home safe . I researched h7 hid kit in 6000K colour
and found this product H7 35W Canbus Xenon HID Conversion Kit
It seems fine to me, but i wanted to have multiple options. Any suggestions or feedback for this one?

HID conversion is an MOT fail. You would need to remove the kit for testing and then refit it again every year unless you know a friendly tester.

Assuming you are not looking to spend £,£££ on an official HID retrofit, your only (legal) option is uprated H7 Halogens, e.g.:

You will just dazzle the oncoming traffic and not get the correct beam pattern. Better idea would be to fit some Osram night breakers or similar.
If your existing bulbs aren't working properly you may have a voltage supply or earth problem, fitting dodgy HID kit will not fix anything.

Irrespective of the legality issue, if the W203 has got as much room as the W204 in and around the headlight area, you'd have a really fun time fitting the kit the OP has linked to; I'm not sure where you'd put half of that gubbins.

W203 H7 dipped , reflector or projector housing ?

Everyone will have their own favourites but these are pretty amazing for only £21 from Powerbulbs.com

Highly recommended!

You could retrofit HID projectors but it’s a faff - see blobstas thread. Mine work very well and don’t dazzle.

Great that you fitted the self leveling to avoid dazzling on the slightest of inclines then.

6000k is too high if the reason you want to change is to help you see at night. A 'daylight' bulk is about 4300k, once you start going beyond that the bulb may look brighter but you actually start losing useful white light on the road.

It's a +1 from me for Osram Nightbreakers.
