Philips diamond vision or osram hyper blue.

 

Both 5000k but osram is the cheaper of the 2.

 

Used to play with headlights on my current ride(avante '09) and my conclusion is halogen bulb cannot reach the level of white compared to a HID. Despite the 6000k claim on the packaging, once installed and lighted up, can't help but still see that yellowish tinge. But when upgrade to some HID 6000k, only then convinced the light is really white. It's like having white fluorescent lights in your living room, then one day you upgrade to white LEDs then you realize what 'white' really looks like.

 

HID require ballasts. I have to literally cut a hole through the headlight back cover to feed the cables in then use black tape to seal up. If just changing out halogen bulbs then no need cut hole. Keep the old bulbs so that during inspection can switch back.

 

Below may help you decide...

I guess it depends on the headlight housing?

 

My previous ride didnt need any modification. Cables to the ballast, ballast to the HID bulbs. Everything could be hidden under the engine compartment chassis.

 

Havent change the headlights on my current ride though.. anyone installed HID on their k3?

Me waiting for car registration and collection too ><

 

I heard during car collection SE will have a checklist to go thru with you to ensure all the car features are functional. Is it true? Or buyer need bring down own checklist? Scared SE one purposely miss out some features if they found them defective...

 

I dloaded attached from some car forum. Is it comprehensive enough?
