I've just fitted 55w 5000k hids to replace my ebay special 35w 6oook, massive difference

dont know if its the wattage or the colour temp but for the first time I feel like I have real headlights

Just for the relied I've been running the same kit for 3 years now and that's the 35w kit but the wifes astra's headlights were good in the first place so they just made em even better

Unfortunately my 55w kit has only been running 4 months BUT alls well and good so far and as their from the same seller have every faith in em

They look the business to me and I know a thing or 2 about electrical equipement.
Thanks again you cheapskate
Paul

Your very welcome I like to save money lol

Somebody tried the welldone brand? Chinese but think they do oem, not so cheap though (about 100Eur here). Any observation?

That is far too expensive for the likes of any cheapskate worth his salt i'm afraid

Just fitted one side and they look very good....much,much brighter and blue.
It is lashing down now so that is the ned of that until it stops raining.....marvelous

All done now......pretty easy job to do.
They look fine.

Pics? How did you mount the ballast?
Did you buy the 6000K?

A bit of a lash up but they are solid enough.
Saves stripping down the head light units.
Only took me 15 mins a side doing it this way......the clips holding the lamps in a pain though.
The lamps seem 100% better than the OEM ones.....not surprising though.
I left the motors disconnected as well....just incase I fry the motors.

Been running my headlight adjusters still plugged in and again all good so far same goes for the wifes coupe too an that's 3 years an counting

I will plug them in then.
Thank you again you cheapskate so and so

On second thoughts,I never, ever use them anyway so what is the point

Fair enough mate!! I normally run around town with em at there lowest then when out in the unlit roads crank em back up

But each to their own if you don't use em you don't use em no point plugging in

excellent kit though matey
Just checked now it's dark abd they are
Paul

Good good I'm well happy with mine hence the big push on the cheapness but quality (brackets exc) although my brackets are holding up well too lol

The brackets are all that lets it down but for that price.....who cares.
That is why they invented zip ties anyway

hi peeps i have got some 35w hids fitted this week 6000k
and have same useless brackets too! pity as the instruction manual shows a crucifix style bracket you should get!!
think my ballasts are the bigger ones as i was advised these have better insulation and protection??
its the 2nd kit i have fitted the first being 55w and i cant see any noticable difference..both much improved over std imo!!

looks like im going get a set of these.
are they still for sale?
where is link

Lazy boy

You still need to specify the type (H1) and the K factor (6000K).
Won't hurt telling them they are for a fiat coupe.....I did anyway and I got the right kit.
Paul

You will have to thank that tight,cheapskate so and so for this BTW

cheers paul.
this first bill is really mounting up now lol.

Mounting up......tell me about it

Happy days an welcome

One question to the guys that have bought the HID kit.

I saw that the seller is based in Canada and item location is Hong Kong. Have you paid any custom fees?

Don't know about customs fees but the lamps sure are bright......a nice kit me thinks and cheap to boot
Paul

Just bought a set of these after seeing the comments on here, will give a review when they arrive..:)

OK I've been putting up with the OE lights since I bought the LE over a year ago and finally made the move with the assistance of MC Mike to some 35w 6000k HIDS.
What a difference! Used some Meccano like strips to fix the ballasts to the light units as there were no brackets on them or came with them - all work brilliantly. Thanks to Nigel for his How To...... Will post fotos.....

Hmmm I've always got brackets just can be a little flimsy although vie fitted mine with said brackets and all good!!

Did you use the link I provided??

Also just to confirm I think the kits are all sent from china and the value it as a gift so no taxes to pay the price on the screen us the price you pay


Cheers

Simon

Sorry should have been clearer - mine were not the actual ones on ebay but sourced a pair off a forum member.....
Well pleased..
