just got home and my HID's are here already laugh now that was fast!

Going to have a go at fitting them later, my ones came in a red box not the yellow one shown, and i got english instructions.

Saying that i've seen more information on the back of a pengun then these do.

i think you can't use these on the fogs for some reason, i'm sure someone will be along any minute to answer why.

well just fitted my set i bought... extreemly easy to fit but as soon as i out them in they blew the 10amp fuses in my lights fuse box? so had to put 15 amp ones in and so far so good.

the only thing im having trouble with is where to mount the ballasts as mine are catching the intake pipe and not closing properly... wish id read the guide properly. any pics or ideas where to safely mount them?

yes they are fine. H1 bulb fitment though, you need to specify that when you palce the order.


Prob better to spend abit more and get them from a uk supplier though.
