Vauxhall vehicles take very well to HID upgrade units with many of the newer Vauxhall's using the projector style headlamp units. Even the smaller Corsa's are now equipped with this more advanced technology. The majority of Vauxhall's use seperate bulbs for main and dipped beam, although the earlier smaller models being equipped with the dual filament H4 bulbs. The newer Vauxhall's often use H7 bulbs for dipped beam and H1 for main beam, therefore use the H7 HID conversion kits.
Pre 2002 Vauxhall including Astra, Corsa, Vectra
Vauxhall didn't introduce its more advanced canbus style ECU systems until the release of the Vectra C in 2002. These earlier Vauxhall's which include the Astra Mk4, Corsa B and Vectra B can all use our standard HID kits. It is for this reason we would recommend the Pro range of our HID conversion kits for these vehicles. These include the HIDS4U Pro Plus HID kit and the HIDS4U Pro Max HID kit. You should expect with the Pro Plus HID system to see an increase by around 300% from your Vauxhall standard headlights. With the Pro Max HID system you should expect to see an increase of about 400%
Post 2002 Vauxhall including Astra, Corsa, Vectra
The more modern Vauxhall vehicles introduce the newer canbus style ECU systems. These systems were introduced to the Vectra C and Corsa C among others. These new ECU systems run different checks on the status of the bulbs installed. This causes the onboard ECU to think the bulbs have failed and to report errors. Our Ultimate HID Kit has been specially designed to overcome these issues and is available as a plug and play system. For all the modern Vauxhall cars we recommend using the Ultimate HID kit to ensure complete compatibility.
A few of the new Vauxhall's (e.g. Vectra C) also require a pre-modified bulb holder to allow easy fitment of the HID system. These bulbs holders are provided free when you purchase an Ultimate HID kit.
We have HID conversion kits available for the following Vauxhall vehicles, or use the finder above for a complete bulb application guide for your car:
