ByronBayChris Posted 23September, 2013 Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 So, I bought some blue vision h1 to replace my candles. Simple job he said to himself...... Mmmmm Removed assembly. Easy. Unhooked old candle and the bloody clip came right off. Stupid me did not check how not looked to begin with. Can someone tell me how to get this piece of origami back together? And yes, I checked the other unit and it has No clop - the globe has been screwed in with a small screw. :-( So what is this clip called so I can buy another, and how the he'll does it fit Please help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevepGT3 Posted 23September, 2013 Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 If you find that they are still not up to the task as 993 headlights are pretty crap this is what the difference is if you go HID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 23September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 Steve, I was thinking hid, but concerned about the extra space needed and also potential heat issues. Have you Any problems with melting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevepGT3 Posted 23September, 2013 Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 Steve, I was thinking hid, but concerned about the extra space needed and also potential heat issues. Have you Any problems with melting? Re space I didn`t put the ballasts inside the bucket as I didn`t think it a good idea, however others have and don`t seem to have any probs re heat the globes appear to run cooler, the only heat I can detect is that the ballasts get warm, my ballasts just sit on the inner guard right next to the boot wall in that little cavity there. I installed them a few years ago and they have proved no problem at all Added benefit is that the engine revs don`t drop when you turn on the lights and as I have a LWF it has reduced stalling to virtually zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydr Posted 23September, 2013 Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 You may find - as I did - that the hid's won't 'throw' much of a beam but that they will p1ss off oncoming cars. It seems that our headlight glasses are ribbed in a way that doesn't work all that well with modern globes. I'm interested to know how it all works when you've finished and whether you get a decent beam instead of just a very bright glare. James from this forum sourced some clear glass for me, it is a marked improvement although it looks kinda different with those lenses fitted. But I can see where I'm going at night.
