dave out of intrest if you make the looms yourself how do the people that bought the kits get them

because what you said was the supplier was going to send them directly out to the customers

you make the looms, then send them out to the company, who then send them out to the customer ?

got it in one Jr

well sort of. not all kits need the extra looms, only the H4 kits. I make these up in batches and send them to the distributor so they can add them to my kits when needed. If I did it the other way round it would meen paying for postage of each kit to me and then from me to the customer.

edit: dave can you get them for a 106?

[Edited on 26-01-2007 by Steve]


yes I can, and steve, please show me where in the law it says these kits are illegal. the fact about their legality is that at present there are no laws that say you cant fit HID conversions, as long as the colour is ok and the beam pattern passes mot's (3 of my kits in 3 different model cars have now been tested at an mot station, all have passed)


its the spread of light, normal lights arent up to focussing the beam properly, so even though the alignment may be ok, the light will still spread out too far, did you see the auto car feature:?

how much for the 106?

if anything steve the light is focused much better than standard bulbs, they sred the light very evenly and not at all as shown on that auto car feature (which is a completely useless report on HID's as they tried their hardest to show up the failings in the cheap ebay type kits and didnt contact VOSA or the police for their opinion so ir was completely biased as most modern media is)

see these pics:

(note in the corsa pic, the car was up about 1ft off the floor on ramps)

my 1.4 corsa has a battery and 4 wheels with some brakes but it doesnt perform as well as an evo which also has 4 wheels a battery and brakes.

simple as that.

I tried loads of kits before deciding on the combination of components used in my kits. the only proof is in their performance. I have not had 1 complaint about these kits (now over 40 kits sold) and I have haid people buy them to replace the inferior ebay kits and the improvements have huge. These kits sell over the counter at Vsport for £185.
