Which Hid's advise

HIDs

hi everyone had a little search around but cant find what im looking for. im wanting to fit HIDs to my leon, seen a few kits on ebay but cant decide on which one to buy, i would post links of possibles but im unable to due to restrictions. heard some good rumours about diane-shop but they seem cheap even with the high postage costs. i thought they would be around £100? could some show me a good kit to buy it would be appreciated. thanks

I got the slim ballast ones from the same seller which I think were a bit more expensive

yeah thats the one you want

slim ballasts means what they say, slimmer instead of the old fatter style ones and worth the extra money

ok cheers mate had any problems with yours?

ok cheers mate had any problems with yours?

mine have only been on for a short while, but *touch wood* none what so ever

they are a MASSIVE improvement over the standard ones. A friend commented on them and said they were excellent. Also the ones I got had two mounting brackets which yours will come with too if you buy from this guy

here are mine

and neatly installed too with the brackets that came with the kit

required a bit of bending (thin metal so very easy) and it was done. done and all fitted in 30 mins

you do know that you need to drill the back of the light casing too (not the actual light, but the plastic cover which is very easy!)

 

[gazR]

no i didnt know, shouldnt be a problem though, im assuming its for the wiring for the HIDs. im assuming they all come with those brackets i can see them under everything in the box in the picture. ive got something in the garage thatll work anyways if not. thanks for your help with this.

no its easy, I drilled a 22mm hole in each casing which was good and nice and tight for the rubber bung

I'v got the same ones as jamiebennett81 and mine have been fine, although I'v mounted mine differentley, I'll stick some pics up in a bit

Do the HID bulbs fit in the original housing or do they need to be modified?

The H7 HID blubs are the same size and shape as normal H7 bulbs, the only thing you have to do is drill a hole in the black cover that goes over the back of the head light unit

 

[gazR]

thanks for your help jamiebennett81 and D.K, pictures really useful ill probably fit mine the same as D.K

D.K what "k" are your HIDs?
