dont buy a fake bosh one or any cheap ebay shite and they are ok, budget £200 for a decent kit.

I know 3 people that bought cheap kits at the start of the winter, all have failed.

With an aftermarket kit?

I have got an 8k one, and yes it was straightforward to do.

Have had a problem where one of my bulbs blew though, but HIDs Direct were helpful and replaced the bulb in a couple of days.

make a big difference, ive done it to my last 4 cars.
they have always been straight forward when ive fitted them, although can be blinding to other drivers if not set-up properly, especially on non-projector headlights

Best mod I have ever carried out to my car, paid about £80 for mine delivered, excellent well made set and came with a five year warranty from the garage that sold them so no probs there !!


would certainly not be paying £200 + !!!!

You can get them on ebay for £39 delivered from diane-shop

very good quality and loads of people have had them for months without any problems so far. I got mine through today but missed the post so will pick them up on monday.

I paid £120 for my last set off ebay and the ballasts on them didnt work and neither did one replacment they sent, just because its cheap doesnt mean there sh!te
