        With normal Halos no poinnt using main beam with HIDs, but my mate has some proper hi-los on his T5 and the difference on main beam is immense, rabbits and other critters caught in the lights melt into a pool of furry sludge by the roadside

          Main beams were almost useless and yellow compared to my HID dips. So i did like the idea of having a matching set that would also bring daylight to the distant road :mischeif:

          But I don't want to lose the ability to flash, it's needed far too often on motorway cruises to remind people they're still in the outside lane So it's just a decision as to whether to go 35W slimline vs 55W fatty ballasts. Do those who've had these still need to perform the K-pin mod?

            I've not done the K-pin mod on either the S2 or the A6.
            I had one set of cheapy China ballasts fitted a couple of years ago that caused my bulb out warning when first switching on, but it then went off after a couple of seconds so I lived with it.
            HIDS4U sets haven't caused it this time.
            I do have a spare relay with the K-pin mod done to it you can have, if you don't fancy modding yours??
