    Interesting, how many of those units that Arthur listed are need for a blade?

    Sorry i don't understand what your asking?

    Unless. You need one bulb one ballast for each light. Although I will only do the low beam on mine as HID bulbs don't like flashing as they need to warm up first

    If I wanted to do the low beam on both lights i'd need a ballast for each side then?

    Although the left reflector is positioned as a high beam so running it would blind other drivers

    Cheers i've just found that out from the other thread, so for around £110 I can be sorted with HID's for low and high beam.
    That sounds like quite a good price being that you've got the built in safety feature of a better chance of being seen aswell

    Do your search on google or utube rather than on here.

    No no no £110 never.

    I've used this eBay seller from china on 8 different occasions after making the mistake using of HID 4 U and paying a fortune for the same kit.

    I've ordered these eBay item 250964193844. Yes you have to wait a bit for the delivery but always good quality! Infact the same as any kit you buy in the uk.

    Also any issues I've had they just replace things instantly. Out of 8 kits I've only had 1 faulty bulb.

    The kit in my sh300i has done 23k and still going strong!

    Ooo thats bloody cheap, do you have a link to where you got them from and are they still nice and compact?
    Have you had them long enough to judge if they are reliable/ good quality?

    Thats great are the ballasts the tiny ones (smaller than a PVC) and did you go for 6k or 8k colour temperature, I think I prefer the 8k looking at the images on his ebay page.
    Sorry to pick your brain so much but does the bulb part just clip straight in where the old halogen bulb was with no modifications?

    The bulb is a direct swap, you will need a hole on the back of the headlight covers, you don't need a separate live wire all power comes from stock harness

    They are small ballasts but the also have an additional inline box ... As you see the pictures posted in the other thread

    6k is the stock for cars (in told) and has the longest throw ... But I have the bluer 8k's

    Idea I didn't fancy having to chop the headlight around to make them fit, and the bulb in bolth sides is a H7 yes.
    I've got a few odds and ends that i'm going to list on ebay tonight, once they've sold and the monies are in i'll get some ordered.
    Thanks for your help
