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

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

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.

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

We have too on how to do it

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.
