HID KIT gtc any pictures? - jamesh7168 - 24:th-Oct-2017 Hi, i want my astra gtc headlights converted to led's so i need a HID kit, i dont no anything about them so i was wondering if anyone had any pictures of them on there gtcs and a link to the kits they got? i have been quoted £96 to fit them but i need to buy the kit myself first, any help would be apprecitated thanks james RE: HID KIT gtc any pictures? - Rusty2009 - 25:th-Oct-2017 I fitted a kit which a customer supplied so not sure what kit it was. You will need to make sure you use a 35W kit though otherwise your face problems. A kit like this https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/new-premium-9012-hid-35w-xenon-conversion-kit-smart-canbus-system/ RE: HID KIT gtc any pictures? - Jhill7168 - 25:th-Oct-2017 OK thanks that looks good what are the colour temp though? I want them like white but with a slight blue tint, like new minis have (girlfriend has one an I like the colour on hers haha) Also that one you just sent me how do u no it fits a gtc? And in the description it says it's for off road use and show purpose so r they road legal? Sorry for all the questions but I really don't have a clue haha RE: HID KIT gtc any pictures? - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Oct-2017 These were 5000K so white 6000k is white with a hint of blue. I always advise no higher than 5000k as light output starts to reduce the higher you go. 9012 is the GTC bulb type that's how I know they fit the GTC, most HID kit's say they are for off road use, this is mostly because people fit them in a halogen reflective lamp which scatters the light pattern blinding on-coming drivers. On the GTC you have projector lamps which is fine for HID's. RE: HID KIT gtc any pictures? - Jhill7168 - 26:th-Oct-2017 OK thanks I have just looked at a chart for the colour temps, just debating now weather to try an fit them myself or get someone to do it had a quote for £96 but am unsure if I'd b able to do it myself, thanks for all the help RE: HID KIT gtc any pictures? - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Oct-2017 We have too on how to do it https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-GTC-HID-How-to but the pics have been gobbled up by Photobucket. But I have made a back-up of the how-to so I'll get that sorted for you but it's really easy & getting the 9012 bulbs you don't have to trim them.
