I'm sure Leo could help you out on that.. he is our HID King.. but I'm sure the others can as well.. they most likely got them installed off him

Lowbeam: H7
Highbeam: HB3
Foglights: H3 (H11 for MY07+)

I can get you HIDs if you're interested, $165 a set delivered with 18mth warranty. Local Australian warranty, too, not dodgy overseas crap.

Oh okay... H9 and H11 are interchangeable, I think H11 has the ceramic endcap whereas the H11 doesn't (or vice versa).

Same sort of deal with HB3/HB4 - are you sure the factory Xenon ones would use HB4 for highbeams? As HB4 has ceramic endcaps on the end of it, thus defeating the purpose of the highbeam.

Pretty much. There's just a notch difference between the two. But conversion should be relatively easy.

I think H11 has the ceramic endcap whereas the H11 doesn't (or vice versa).

I think you meant the H9 for the 2nd one? But yeah, H11 has the cap and is used for foglights in some cars.

No, which is why my post (and the car manual) says HB3. HB4 is for the foggies.

gah, misread. Skimreading numbers is a bad thing.

my bad!

I mucked up too.

I had the numbers switched around (HB3 highbeams for HID equipped Libs not the other way around). All fixed now.

I have a 03 Liberty GT and aI m also interested in putting in HIDs. Will they be as good as those original bi-xenon lights in OEM cars?

Where can I get them fitted in Melbourne?
