Has anyone installed these and not installed HIDs? Any pictures? Wanted something as quick and easy as possible and don't want to have to end up fiddling to get things working properly down the line. If I just keep the halogens that's one less thing to go wrong.

Finally Done..

This post is appreciate BrennanF30 and other forum members who helped out with suggestions and more importantly the motivation to take the leap for this DIY!

What can I say, these light have completely transformed the looks of the car and I dont have to drive with the yellow candles in my headlamps anymore...

My beam pattern seems to be consistent with some other members (dip in the middle).

I've got LED's in the high beams and they work really well.

Have you got photos of the light output of your HIDs (preferably up against a wall) as I'm surprised you think it's worse than the halogens. I would agree that the width of the light spread may be narrower, but not that there's is overall less light on the road.

You can use H7 bulbs as well but HIDs are more brighter and give more of OEM look if you know what I mean mate and that's reason all of us here fitted hids

I would say Hids mate but I let you decide

Yeah i had H7 all this time. During day time no probs but night time is bad especially if there is no other lights around.
I ordered now 35w 5000K hid kit. I understand that is the option that most of you went for.
Is it difficult to install them on Depos?
