HID Conversion kit

Post by Redlined »

Well I bought a McCulloch H1 H.I.D. conversion kit for my projectors. IT wouldnt fit at first because of the shape of the civic projector. Took a little bit of dremelling but it fit and boy is it bright. They are aimed properly so they do not glare in everyones eyes. If someone will post pics for me i can take some tonight.

H1??? That's usually a bulb used in fog lights.

Actually, the H1 is often used for mono-filament headlights (separate low and high beam units). They're used a LOT in the old-school (Mk 1 and Mk 2) VW Euro lights.

As far as I know, the most common fog light/driving light bulb is the H3.

My mistake, I think I swapped an H3 for an H1 in a set of fog lights once...much brighter...and really high temps.
