[bertman]

Could some kind person who has btdt with hid's please point me towards a reputable company that sells decent kits.Have spoken to a few helpful peole on the forum but am still at a loss.
I only want to do the dipped beam so I take it that I need an H1 kit-Yes/no?
After nearly killing some numpty jogger who thought he was really looking the muts nuts in his all black running suit-no hi vis at all:corey: Thought it was time to do another upgrade-really cannot see alot out there,but that might be an age related thing or just rubbish lights

I got mine from Apex performance in Bradford, it's a very well known jap tuning company. There service is second to non. I paid £60 for mine two year ago so may have gone up a slight bit.

What lights did you go for in the end?

[Big Lee M]

I have H7's I think as I have the Elipsoids and It was the 6K kit it's more of a whiter beam,I think the higher you go the bluer the lights look.

Where did you get these from and are they any good?.There is just so many darn kits out there,it's difficult to know where to start

[BRY]

I've got a set of these in the A3.
No problems with them, they have been in for over a year.

[Big Lee M]

Sorry it might be H1's it was a long time ago I fitted them.

Pot Luck on Ebay.... Bought in the UK - Just in case there were any issues...

Pete (Acidburn) has fitted some Chinese ones and seems to be happy with them I also have bought a set of H3's for the Fogs... But haven't fitted them yet..

I would look for slimline Ballasts to make fitting the easier...

This company has good feedback and have been mentioned on here many times... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SLIM-HID-CONVE...item33611eb2e1

I would contact them BEFORE ordering to make sure you get the right ones... H1 6000K not sure on 35 or 50watt thoo...

can't find where i sourced mine from Rob but i know it was from a UK ebayer and 55w H1. I think the newer 35w slimline/digital ballasts are supposed to be more efficient but dont make any difference to the light output etc. I think mine were either 5000 or 6000luminen so not a chave blue more a true white light. Must bag a set for the fogs next then get some full beams in a decent colour to match. At the moment the HID's on the dips are so bright it makes very little difference if i flick full beam on

Someone (andyp?!?!?) had made a note of how to clean the actual projector lense and really helped to throw a better light out but i forget where i read it.

Also, you might want to try and get a set where the ballasts dont need earthing. Makes for a cleaner and easier install.

Think this may just depend on the state of your existing wiring... Mine didn't need any extra earths...

[Error404]

Word of warning, IIRC I gave Pete Acidburn the link to the ones he bought and have a load of problems with them now

They keep dropping out for no reason, properly earthed etc. I'm going to buy another better quality kit as these are dangerous. You get what you pay for.
