rofl they posted pics of their sweatshop :lol:
Anyway, looks like the kit I've installed aswell, light is great and fitment is okay. Might need to grab ground directly from the battery though if you want to avoid problems with one light not switching on initially. They draw a few amps initially.

HID's fitted

Picked up my HID's yesterday from the post office and set about fitting them once I got home.

Fitting was very easy, just plug and play :D Very happy with the results.

Yea, just drill a hole in the back cover to feed the bulb and electrical connection through. They already have a gromit attached to the wiring so you just pop it in place. There were £40 mate clicky.

Where'd you hide the balast in the other side? Smart idea to drop it into the battery box :)

I missed the pic out :doh:

Ah, the other side is about as bad mounted as mine :p
Ah well, guess there's no other way on that side. Would like a more clean mount.

I'll start saving up for a set I think. I noticed today how bad my headlights are. Hardly any light at all compared to other cars going past me, and they have been adjusted etc :(

Well I hate the way my exhuast sounds real boomy for the first min or so after starting when the SAI is operating, then it sounds alot more subtle when the revs settle down...so I might do.

Might be ordering some of those HIDs too as I have £50 in my PayPal account now :whistle: Or maybe I should save for the coilies lol
