Right,
One of my mates can get hold of 8000k hid's for £117-free fitting and 15 months warrenty. He has just had them fitted to his car tonight and they look awesome!
Is this an alright price for this conversion? I have searched and some people can get them from £70! where from? fleabay will be out of the question as the laptop im on wont let me go on fleabay. Any other places to get hold of them?

Cheers.

These are the ones i got recently took 10 days to come through but for £60 you can't argue, fair enough i've had a suspect ballast, but one quick email to the sales guys and they are sending my a new ballast in the post.

Very easy to fit and from what i've seen they look cool, i've gone for the H7 6000k set.

Most people have got 6000k haven't they. is there much difference between 6k and 8k apart from the colour? carnt decide which one's as they are both same price.
cheers

The light beam is better the lower power they are. 6k's were noticeable better for vision than my 10k's (but they were still good)

never got pulled or flashed by anyone with either.

8000k...its in the sig.....i had 6000k on my old Type R but thought this time i would go a little bluer as you ca get normal bulbs that are quite like 6000k and i wanted to stand out (as if i didnt anyway in a yellow car)

Here's a question, if you have 7k in your headlights, and 7k's in your Full Beam, will there be a brightness difference?

Or should you upgrade to say 9k for the full beam?
