Leon/Toledo HID Headlamp Guide/FAQ

Same here - ordered on christmas day, they were in the country on the 28th! Sadly i wasn't at work to sign for them but they were redelivered when i went back to work. Such a good price i bought two, one extra for me and one for my old man. I'll be HID for main beam too - 80 quid delivered for 2 kits - bargain!
Just fitted the HID kit into the angel eyes, did't have to modify/drill/file the lights at all. The bulbs went in, albeit a bit tight. Mounted the n/s transformer on the inside of the plastic cover (right behind the headlight) & the o/s transformer is cable tied between the inner wing & the washer bottle. To be honest, it was piece of piss! O/s light seems to be slightly dimmer than the n/s but much brighter than the halogens (may be me?). I'll be out in the dark later to try them!!!!
Got them from Waxacar off ebay (shop). Not entirely successful as the friggin things steamed up in the 1st week & looked shite! Contacted Waxacar & they wanted me to take them off & return them, I asked if they could send replacements & I would swap them then return them (bumper removal each time) but they wouldn't agree to that so I dealt with Ultra (manufacturers) direct, they were great & sent replacements straight away which meant I only had to remove the bumper once to swap. Paid £150 including postage. I would say that the quality is only just acceptable, brackets are flimsy and don't fit particularly well, new ones (6 months later) have started misting up again. But as the car is black and the lights are black (without the chrome rings), it looks really stealthy! Now with the HID's fitted I'm very pleased. Oh yeah, went out in the dark earlier, plenty of light but aim is a bit low so need to sort that out to get the proper verdict!
nr side is hidden behind the plastic cover that you have to remove before you can get to the headlight and the off side is mounted one the slam pannel bolt - I plan to change this at some point but was more interested in getting them in and working today! I'm planning to hide it behind/under the washer bottle but need to wait for the water to run out first 
To those of you who've mentioned about 'left light kick up' here's the difference with projectors fitted.
that's the difference projectors make
is there supposed to be a kick up like that?
hmmmm... I know these are easy to fit as I've done them on other cars. Pics would still be helpful though. RobM?
Evening All,
Am about to purchase a set and wished to make sure, I'm ordering the right site.
Could people please confirm this is right for me.

Also, IS it worth getting a H1 set?
