Hi,

Had my LTZ for just over a week now and I really miss my HID headlights, has anyone fitted an after market kit onto the Captiva. If so how easy was it and what kit did you use??

Thanks

 

[sccobyste]

Thanks very much I should have updatedthis earlier. I got a great kit for HIDS4.co.uk even despite there website saying it would not work. The kit is great was fitted in under an hour and love having HIDS back.

Do these just plug in to your existing wiring loop or do you have to run wires from your battery?

 

[sccobyste]

fit to your existing wiring no cutting required they are worth every penny
dont pay more than £40 all in

 

[Chindley]

Fitted some after market HID's, no problems took me 40 mins tops. Just need some white side lights now as they look really Yellow against the bright HID's.

Just picked up conversion kit buy it now off ebay, H7 - 4300k bulbs £24.70including postagethought give them a try at that price.

As i have just said I have bought a cheep hid kit, not received it yet. Have I slipped up buying an ordinary ballast do I need a can-bus ballast. Any body else who has converted there lights does the captivaneed can-bus or are yours working OK and not bringing up warnings or faults with an ordinary ballast.

 

[Chindley]

Hi Al, No Can-Bus needed, they work fine. If they are the cheap ones i.e.under £30 they are probably coming from China.

 

[Big Al]

Thanks Chindley so they should be OK then, yes they are coming from china but so does most electrical stuff now days.

Nice Information about on this...But Really HIDXenonHeadlights has done the research, tested numerous HID kits and

Not that you have any vested interest in any way clearly...

 

[Big Al]

Why pay $80 When I only paid $40 for a superb kit which only took an hour to fit. No thanks that's wasting beer tokens!!!

Those lights look brilliant! Is it more a look thing or does it really make a difference while driving? Also can you still adjust height inside the car? Anyone got a link for a decent set that have been fitted?

 

[Chindley]

I got mine off eBay under £50 took less than 30 mins to fit, the height control still works and HID's do improve visibility. Order yourself some of the bright led side lamps at the same time as it will save time changing them later, yur old ones will look yellow against the HID.

 

[dean100yz]

As Big-Al said do you needcan-bus ballast ones? Also anyone got a best choice of light intensity? All that 8400k etc confuses me a bit

 

[Big Al]

The captiva does not need a canbus ballast. below 4000k the light is a bit yellow, 4100k-4300k is the brightest, white with a slight tint of blue, anything upwards progreses to deeper blues, so its youre choice.
