Hey everyone iv got a set of Phillips 10000 k hid lights in my r32 coupe gtst and they suck not bright at all can't see the road properly it's a hazard. Now does any one know how to make them brighter like using a booster of some sort?

Cheers

They are 55 they are hid 10000k should be just as bright as the BMW lights but there not. Even after cleaning the headlight no good I think I might remove them. Where can you buy r32 globes as they are hc3 or something. Or do I just go h1 globes and cut to suite

I just found out the globe type went to eBay and put in 55w 6000k h1 hid and went from there. Both are very very bright. I get flashed all the time to tell me to put my high beams off. Maybe u just got a bad set like my first pair?

I'll have a go at 6000 k. Never had any problems with the popo before with hid they normaly go straight to the bay and say is that stock and I keep my mouth shut. I think hid lights are the least of my worries

I have 35 watt ballets and 6000k in my r33 and they are awesome, I got flashed a few times but they were pointing up to high, lowered them a bit and have not been flashed yet, anything above 6000 k is not for road use, as the are to bright for on coming traffic and they loose the focus of the beam which gives skatered light which might be your problem

They won't ever focus properly. The length, thickness, throw etc of the bulb is a complete mismatch to the reflector in your car.

If you know how headlights work, you know that HID kits were never meant to go into these lights.

What do you suggest then I'm sick of shit lights need something good

Put a good quality halogen globe back in. Phillips +30's in mine, same wattage, but good bright nearly white light. And on-coming drivers aren't ending up on someones front lawn......
