What you reckon on these ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H7-XENON-HID-...019286495QQcategoryZ72235QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 
They look ok for that price.
From what I have seen there are 2 sets you can get, one (older style) where you power them from the battery, goes via a relay unit. The newer style power from the existing bulb power - so a much cleaner and easier installation.

Look fairly interesting. At least it solves the problem of the headlamp unit being correctly adjusted / EC stamped.
Only problem with these unknown companies is how good the product is. I'd rather spend £400 on something good than £100 on something unknown/bad.
If something seems to be too good to be true it usually is.
Mine ae turning up today! WOO HOO!!!
£150.... Jap built. Not Chinese or Asian crap....
Will let you all know how it goes as I have a good supplier IF these babys work the way they should
Plus they are 6000k and he can do 8000k for £180!
The suppiler has had them on his LEON for a year and not had any issues.
Will let you all know how it goes ASAP...

I fitted the pilot kit from www.hids4u.co.uk sooo easy to fit, and if you look on ebay you will find the kit even cheaper. The difffernce in light is amazing
Not sure if I would trust ebay.stuart_hatch said:
Took the plunge on these kits for £150 notes. If im honest if I didn't know the guy who I got them from I wouldn't have bothered as they are a little "too" cheap.
But I know him, I trust him and I know he has been running the same kit on his Leon for close on a year.
If they are shite, I will kick his ass and let you all know.
http://ablackmarket.com/ClubandForumOffer_HID.html are £235 at the moment, these are the newer style ones which connect straight into the existing lights for power. Decent bloke to deal too.
I would stick with 6000k, anything more goes away from the daylight white look and not as good IMO.
I have had mine in since Feb this year and no problems even when being used frequently with the Autowindow "Brite" module.
£155 is a good price though.
Edit: looks like hid4u do the X5 kit @ £259.99

Same idea as mine, 6000k is perfect anymore and they are tooo blue, i sometimes think even 6000k is a little bit too blue
I personaly wouldn't go above 6000k.BeeSix said:
The new style ones are nice.... but 100 quid saving is nice.
Having said that...... £155 IS a good price .... ONLY IF they are any good.
Might have to put them in tonight! How hard is it to allign them?
Can I just put the adjuster down to bottom level?
Or is is more complex than that?
Anyone?
Tell you what mine do put the MINI OEM Xenons to shame actually. i think these are 4300k as standard, might upgrade them next !
friend is a mechanic, he has one of those light allignment machines, but i never had to adjust them, they were fine when i installed them
So you threw them in, turned them on and they were just spot on ....claudefrog said:
Fingers crossed!
yep, i was surprised myself... tho if at home your doing it, i would drive up against garage door/wall... mark the position of where the lights break with some black tape, fit the HID kit, move car to same position and see the position of the lights in comparison to the originals.... or
£10 - £15 will get your lights alligned at any good backstreet garage with a tester
