What HID kit do you have?And how much was it?

[Gooner_Mike]

One of the best mods you can do I think! Bit pointless in these long sunny days but awesome in winter! Will be getting some for Focus soon too.

£30 ebay ones here aswell

How come there is massive fluctuation in price regarding the ones in diane-shop? Some are 36 or so in total, others are 55 or so!?

They seem to be the same kits at buy it now?!

Could be a marketing gimmick.
Like on price comparison websites you look at the array of prices on there and go: I`ll have THAT one - it`s what I want and it`s the cheapest there! Ensuring that you buy through them.

I think ALOT of us purchased them on ebay Australia due to the niche in the price and poor strength in the pound. Well done to the lad who figured it out! This was a year ago though.

ive got the cheapest set available off ebay - 30quid delivered from china and 6 months later they're brilliant

 

[AndrewJB]

i got Diane shop ones ,they lasted 2 days and then broke so i sent them back and after a few weeks i got a new set back

had them in the car now for about 3 months and there fine! ive got my headlights turned down (setting 1) and never had any flashes etc

i got 10000k in my leon with for £38 of ebay from china took 4 days to arrive 10 mins to fit looks awesome and had no probs from the police but i do have projectors as well

 

[stebbi]

£44 diane-shop jobbies for me, sat at home waiting to be fitted

 

[gazb1409]

just to clear something up i have read on here is that alot of people are saying you cannot fit hid's into angel eyes on a leon mk1 without modifying the angel eyes well just to clear that up i have fitted them into my angel eyes without any messing around what so every it took me around 10 mins to fit without bogding it up the ballasts are tucked away really nice will upload some pics very soon

my OEM looking install

First i removed the bumper and lights.

Then mounted the ballasts on the crash bar

Then in with the bulbs

Then i modded the cover to suit

Then once the cover was on i pulled the grommet through

Then the finished product!

Might want to put that in the MK1 Leon section then

st10587 that`s exactly what I did! But I managed to do it with the headlights still in place.
Makes for a much neater install cutting the bottom of the cover instead of drilling the hole eh?

Ah... the old sidelight saga again!

 

[PJ_TDi]

Ha! I've mastered the changing sidelights technique i think! It just takes a bit of patience, none of this cut-hands business! I ended up buying the diane-shop lights, on the basis they were half the price of the others (£37!!)and seem to have equally-as-good reviews, I'll put some pictures up as soon as they are fitted, cheers for all the help chaps!

Do you have a link to their page as I will probably buy some for my other car!

Hi guys! Fitted my HID's the other day and they are great! I made use of st10587's fitting method so the wiring is well hidden. My only query is about what seems to be dust on the inside of my lights? Is this just highlighted more due to the brightness of the HIDs? It doesnt affect the beam at all, just the look of the headlights when they are on.
