[J@mes]

I am pretty sure anyone in their right mind will get a swap on this, and James even implied that he has this under control in his previous quote.

And there should be no "trying" about it. If they sent the wrong ones out they are at fault and it will be swapped.

Is that the pilot kit from Hid.com?

 

[J@mes]

no!

i got it from a m8 of "slimjim" called Karl!

(arround £150!)

[Scotty_b]

Thats not bad, so £60 cheaper than HID sell for. Have you seen both kits to compare them?

 

[slimjim]

Not seen them together to compare them, but if anyone is out and about round the midlands with the Pilot kit on... let me know... as I have the kit J@mes got from Karl.

 

[Scotty_b]

Well i suppose my main thought is its £60 cheaper so does that mean that:

There making them cheaper and can sell them for less?
There a slightly lesser quality therefore cheaper?
They don’t work quite as well as the others?

As £150 is a far better price but I wouldn’t want to put something like that near water (rain washer bottles etc).

Not putting it down just trying to justify it to myself! As the saving is great but the difference is worth it for a better set (if that makes any sense! Ive got cynical in my old age of modding!)

You can install them where ever YOU want to.... I kept mine away from the water bottle.

and as for the life span, Karl has had his on his car for over a year with no issues. and a years worth with the HID's ... in "my" oppinion, is worth £150. Anything more would be a bonus.
