HID Bulbs fading? Bulb recommendations/suppliers

[Arvi]

I put a HID kit in my car 3 years ago.I'm not sure if its just me having got used to the light of if they are not as bright anymore. After 3 years on the same bulbs which is impressive, could it be that they do dim a bit over years?

I've got the 6000k bulbs in at the mo. Didn't use any adaptors, might try the 4300k, Is it worth getting the bulb holders?

I got the bulb holders, makes the bulbs ALOT more secure. Sorts the alignment out properly as well, worth it for the money.

Holders is an easy fit Mate, just needs a little imagination...

Very impressive for You to last 3yrs.. def. bulbs need changing now... For less than 10£ you'll get a new one... maybe go 4300k for better light output...

Thanks for all the responses

Anyone recommend suppliers for:

1) Bulb Holders

2) 43000k bulbs (is it 35w I need?)

3) Led side lights

(4) A warm workshop!)

Bump, now I have full access to the forum and no longer a "Newbie"!

Also does anyone have any sidelight/courtesy light (with sunroof) and boot interior light recommendations?
