just white led ones i would think mate or PIAA do a white/blue led which i think is legal but not certain
I swear some people had a link with some that matched well.
Will need to have a dig around the several HID threads.

Has anyone else got/tried these?

ive tried plenty of different sidelights and im struggling to find something to match the power of the HIDs, you'll have to let me know what there like mate
bought mine off a uk supplier
cost £10 more than diane but 2yr warranty and arrived next day - worth the little extra tbh

Will you let us all know what they're like when you've installed them?
Have you got a link to the supplier you used Flapper?
Cheers!
The kit arrived today, did briefly install one of the lights to test it but will fit them properly tomorrow after work so I can set the beam up aswell.
Here are 2 pics of the ballasts next to my iphone as a comparison.
as you can see the slimline ballasts are quite small so shouldnt be too hard to locate.

Those look like a good buy ! what do ppl think ?
could you post some pics when installed and a view on how good they are ?
thanks
Sorry for the delay folks.
I havent taken pics of the front of the car with the lights on as they dont fully represent the lights, they tend to look glary on the camera, also there are a lot on here already.
I did read an article that was linked to on here saying how there was a lot of additional glare etc that was shown on a headlamp beam tester but I was unable to find a picture of HID's on a beam tester, so I have a pic of one of my headlights in the beam tester and also against a wall.
When I first fitted them I was unsure whether to keep them, by the 25 minute drive home I was quite sold, then I drove 110 miles and back down the motorway wednesday to pick up some wheels and I was sold. The lights seem to light up all 3 lanes of the motorway if your in the middle lane, I also notice that road signs are reflecting back my lights in the distance as opposed to the cars in front of me yet the lights arent shining high or dazzling.
When I first fitted the lights and for the first day, the majority of the times I switched the lights on one wouldnt light up and id have to switch the switch back off and on then they would be ok, since wednesday evening this has been ok.
I did contact the seller who advised I take it to an auto electrician to get the voltages of my lights checked and my battery checked, I did this myself and fed back to them, the seller is a little dismissive in his replies so i'm not sure how the years warranty will pan out should I have a failure.
I also have a problem whereby when I turn on the lights my aux input goes very crackly, if i switch off the radio and switch it back on then its ok. I think this is more down to me cutting a corner with the earth connection for the aux kit itself or a radio fault as this was randomly happening before fitting the lights.

Here are 2 pics I took tonight to see the difference between my dipped beam alone, and dipped beam with full beam.
