Just finished fitting a HIDS-direct 35w kit, went to test it, and now am getting a 'check number plate bulb' error message. Any ideas why this might be? The kit is supposed to be CANBUS capable, so shouldn't be that kind of issue.

Like a number of people I'm more than a little disappointed in the non-xenon headlamps of my 2013 Giulietta and was initially planning to fit Phillips Xtreme Vision +130 bulbs to both dip and main beam. However, in my previous car (159) I fitted after market HID dip beams (not mains as not...

I fitted some "OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED H7" to my '53 147 GTA and whilst they are an improvement over what was in there, I think I'll only be happy once I get some HIDs installed. I installed a pair of HIDs in a previous car so can appreciate the difference and will be willing to do the...

Right lads I want upgrade all my lights and side lights what do I need to get. Anybody in the north west area that can give me a hand I will get a few drinks in. It will only be next month as the car is going In to garage tomorrow

On the back of the headlights there is a removable cover that is (as far as I can tell) held down with a few screws, on the standard lamps it would be held on by a pair of catches. I used to have one screw between both headlights, which I removed so I could purchase some more and actually...

Hi everyone. I fitted some hids last week and when trying them out i noticed that my passenger side light was pointing way to high. There is also a strange buzzing noise coming from that light since fitting the hids. I tried to manually adjust the headlight bulb so it wasn't shining so high and...

I wanted this video and I'm very tempted! has anyone performed this upgrade? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR6CrzH6n_g I do like those black bezel inserts!

Ordered the HID kit from the well respected ebay seller (Londoncolour?) Fitted it together. Was under the impression it was just plug and play. But the new bulb didn't work, so I put the old one back on and now that isn't working! Have I blown a fuse or something? (If it helps, the other...

Hi All One of my Osram nightbreakers has decided it no longer wants to light my way anymore so I'm thinking of changing to HIDs. The Osrams have actually been very good but I was wondering if anyone would say that HIDs are the way forward? If someone has a spare set for sale that would be...

Hello all, I installed yesterday the 35W 5k H7 HIDs from The Retrofit Source into my pre-facelift 166. Installation was quite simple, the ballasts easily tucked away securely. Components seem really high quality. The lights light up almost instantly, a little flicker and that is it. Huge...

Hi all, I need help!! I bought and fitted some 55w HIDS rang them for a few days, now my alternator doesn't appear to be charging and more!!! Could this be related? :cry: looks like I'm going to need an new alternator but I'm a bit worried of using my HIDS on the new alternator, has anyone...

Hi All, Just got myself a lovely 2.4 Ti, drives beautifully... remapped to 250bhp, and hold 1.4 - 1.5 Bar boost strongly in all gears :) Just want to check if a couple of things are.. 'normal' as i've never had a diesel car before :) The turbo whines... sounds like a distant police car...

Hi guys. I'm considering replacing the standard bulbs on my 2007 facelift 147 with HIDs (and also replacing the sidelights with white LEDs). Has anyone on here done this or does anyone have any tips?

Got round to fitting my HIDs. Just a post to let other members know the results in case anyone else is on the verge of buying some. These are the ones I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251264426246?var=550232638399&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 5000k as white as I wanted...

Earlier in the year when trying to remove the aiming motor I split the housing it fits into. Either it was weak or I had had too many Weetabix that morning. A cable tie around it served as a stop gap. Today, I managed to get a pliable jubilee clip around the split and tightened enough to allow...

I got HID because the lighting was very poor on the GT...really bad. The lenses was in ok order, slight misty look to them so I got HID and they were AWESOME.....really good. Any how, MOT failed on the patten of the HID (no issues with the actual HID as such) So put the old 120% brighter...

Hi all, seems ages since I signed on here - hope all ur lovely alfa's are behaving through the winter months. Sadly mine is not, but hopefully it's not a big issue........... I've got aftermarket HIDs (35w) and today we seem to have developed a problem with the drivers side. It turns on no...

Hi guys, I've ordered the hids but also wanting to know a few things. What can be done about the fog lights and sidelights to match the hids? Any ideas? Does anyone have any pics? Also does anyone out there fit these hids?? I live in Sutton Coldfield, birmingham.

Hey guys, Just gathering a bit of interest on this at the moment as there's a guy on another forum that i use who is selling normal H1, H3, H7 etc bulbs that give off a crisp white light, similar to the 6000K colour that most of us have opted for in our HIDs. Those of you who are keen on...

I ordered some of these from hids direct on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANBUS-SMD-LED-WHITE-H6W-SIDELIGHT-BULBS-ALFA-147-GT-/270727044037?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0896dbc5#ht_2347wt_982 They were described as white but when fitted, I get chav blue:tut: One also...
