[s-cars] S6 Euro Headlights

[Tony Curran]

I had HIR before HID. Unfortunately the HIRs were no match for HIDs. I'd
recommend going straight to a HID kit. I got mine from...

No affiliation. There is no need to lobotomise the bulb test circuit.

A very respectable quick fix is to install    Toshiba HIR 9012 (low
beam) and 9011 (hi beam) bulbs. They run at stock wattages, but put out
around 3400-3600 lumens. It's been discussed    on the list before and
it has held me off  from installing my Rossato-bin HID conversion very
effectively. No Auto-Check headaches either. No, they don't have quite
the throw of HIDs, but they come functionally close. They do lack the
"blue upscale bling" however.

amazing like other euro lights I've installed.
