I recently bought these > HiD Kit and I have used these guy's before with other coupes also. I bought a cheaper set a few months back, they flickered and then a bulb failed.

For the money, these are quality.

H1 is what you require

6000k is best in my opinion, just slightly on the blue side of white and a good match for most led side lights.

I prefer the 5000K as it matches my LED sidelights better than the 6000K did. 5000K is white, no blue tinge. It's all down to what 'you' prefer

I like 4300k, more "factory". However mine never worked the first time, is the a kit with delayed start etc, so you dont have to switch off & switch on?

Mine has a 6000k kit fitted and they have a very slight blue tinge.

Are you doing the full beam too? I was considering LED's for mine but can't find anyone that's got them in.

Not doing main beam I think they are too slow to ignite but I'm doing led rears when the strips turn up

i got 6000k in mine.
but i bought two pairs, because i wanted to buy metal base HIDS, and for these id be paying up to £60 for a kit.
so i bought these Ballasts Which do come with these cheap hid bulbs but have good quality ballasts and then i bought a set of H1 Metal bulbs
