I am looking at the possibility of upgrading my headlights to HID - Xenon or 100w
Now let's get the terminology right first. I am from the Continent so we call them:
Short Lights (normal driving lights) - I believe that would be Dipped Beam
Long Lights (the blinding ones, blue symbol appears on the dashboard) - I believe that would be FULL or Main Beam, or High
Q. Any comments on that, I am I correct?
Now I see that the Dipped beam in RR uses a H4 bulb with 3 wires
And Full beam is a H1 with two wires, with its own housing - closer to the grill.
It is a bit confusing as my previous car (not a RR obviously) had only H4 that did the hi/low.
Q. How is the H4 used on the RRover?
Q. The big question is do I need just a normal HID H4 kit, or a Bi-xenon?
As we are talking about upgrade the cheap version is 100w bulbs.
As far as I understand a H4 is on either on the first filament or the other, so 55w or 60w and for the upgrade bulbs 90w or 100w and I think when you flash both filaments are on. So 190w x2 = 380w ?!?!?
The questions here are:
Q. Anyone of you uses them on the road, I hear they are illegal, why? A Hid systems seems to be brighter!
Q. Can the RR suport them for all time use? Any problems, wire heating, ECU etc?
Thanks in advance
