I think they are mate, why are you changing? They look nice! Just buy HID's to match! , I've got some coming for my birthday on sunday so will see how they look!
Tempted.... I'm probably going to get 4300k HIDs. Anyone got a good set they'd recommend?
May go 5000k HIDs4u, but obviously don't want too blue.

Probably haha.
Just pot luck tbh, Some last a good while whilst others start to flicker really quickly. The previous set I bought when I got my HIDs only lasted about a month, these ones have been on for atleast 6 months and all still going well

Well, I'll most likely get HIDs4u as they are meant to be really reliable. I think they're £80 or so for a good 5000k slim ballast set.
Mines were £55 I think for 6k H7R slim ballasts from ebay Still going strong, no problems at all!

You can get a H7R kit from HIDs-Direct just down the road from me in Manchester for £49.99 plus P+P. 4300k, 5000k, 6000k all available.
I'd personally be going with 5000k I think. Just need to find a n/s twin reflector headlamp and I'm ready for HIDs!
What happened to yours 0.o
Plus are HIDs-Direct any good?
I can get a 5000k H7R kit for £75 from HIDs-4u... hmmm...

Nothing, despite getting rammed by a reversing white van man yesterday. Knob.
Got the standard single reflector headlamps in at the moment, I'm changing to the twin reflector ones like you have.
Not tried HIDs Direct myself but will be doing so as their feedback seems good and they're cheaper than HIDS4U.

GAH White van men 
Did he stop, or just dart off? Hope it ain't going through insurance.... Is the bumper damaged?

Thankfully he did stop, and apologised. Luckily for him my little Ibiza proved strong and there isn't a single mark on it, nor was there on his van (only had a very quick look at his, more concerned about mine). Had a look under the bonnet and can't see any damage there either, so he's got away with it.
Was one of those moments, saw the reverse lights come on... shouted "NOOOOOOO" whilst quickly trying to grab reverse. Couldn't get it fast enough so he just rammed me and that was that.

Oh good, earlier, I thought you meant your headlight got mashed ;P
So you're just upgrading to twin-reflectors, for HIDS?

Yup, thought there's no point getting the H4 hi/lo HID kit if I've got my eye on twin reflector lamps, so I'm just putting up with the mankey standard halogens until then.
I had just fitted my FR grilles at the weekend, I thought they were bound to get smashed when he ran into me. One thing is for sure, if that van had a tow bar on it, I'd be looking at a new bumper, grilles... possibly more.
The lower the k value, the whiter the lights. I am running 6000k on mine. Might go for 4300k when I buy some for our Focusn (the wifes car) The difference over standard is amazing, so much so I hate driving the Focus at night (with standard crappy bulbs!)
Mine are from HIDs4U and they have been great for the 2 years they have been on the car. No problems.

you have that the wrong way round the higher the number the bluer the lights mk 5000k are really white and my old 8000k were very blue.
so you probably want 5000k if you prefer white light.
