6000k will be super bright...

I've gone for the lamest light output by going for the 12000k, but its purely for 'tart' value and I am a tart!!!

£50 per bulb is pricey, I'm not 100% sure if its not actually £50 per pair??

Sorry will get back to you with a definate on this one, hold tight!

I earthed mine under the air feed (in front of the abs i think!) and above the passenger side headlight ( already connected to the negative terminal).

Alex,

Would it be ok to order another set in 9005 bulb fitment for a Jeep Cherokee?
My dad is so impressed with mine, he wants a set now!!

Excellent news there Mark... Once your dad has them on and shows his mates they'll all want a set... its infectious!! Anyone thats seen these lights knows how impressive they are and for the price - its rude not to buy a set!!!

You know the drill Mark, go for it!

Default Replacement or Spare bulbs...

A pair of Bi-Xenon "bulbs only" would be £75.

Its £50 per single beam bulb delivered and if you're after a pair of bulbs together, you can take and extra £5 off, so £95 delivered!



(The £5 off discount applies if you are shipping 2 kits together as well)

took me and my mates just over an hour to fit the kit.
no bumpers, lights or fogs removed. very easy to be honest. we put the ballasts behind my fog covers as i have no fogs, they fitted nice n snug.

That sounds the wrong way around.

For spare bulbs: send the funds and in the comments say it's for bulbs and group buy 177


I'm gonna double DOUBLE check those prices coz as BOB'5 has said, does seem a bit backwards...

I would have thought the Bi bulbs are £75 the pair and the Single ones £50 the pair.

Put it this way....we did the singles for £17 each on the other GB

Hi all,
Here is my one with (H4-2) 6000k, Low beam HID and main is halogen.
Dont see any point of going for bi-xenons because we hardly need main beams! And it was even easier to fit without replays!!!
1 hour job done!
Low beam HID on and spots on too to show difference.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/myscooby.jpg

I got these from ebay worked out under £90 inc delivery from HK to UK.
Look for H4-2 bulbs, there are a few ebayers selling them.

Looking good mate Dont know how often you drive round with your fogs on, but have you considered getting HIDs for the spots?

I got 2 kits sitting indoors (1 for dips & 1 for spots)... I drive round with my sopts on at night... I know, my bad, but only thing I got to do now is work out where I can stash 4 ballasts...

Thanks m8, not very often i use my fogs. i think its abit too bright with them on as i get some drivers flashing their rear fogs when im behind them! and its supposed to be illegal to drive with fog-lights on without foggy weather or bad weather conditions (i think!). I got told off by the police a few years ago!!!

I think having hid low beam (set at correct level) is well bright enough and some drivers thinks it dazzles them too. i guess i wont bother with hid fogs then!

i found i have quite abit of space left after my 1 set installed. since my one didnt need relay it saved alot of extra wires tidying so i guess its more neater! Good luck anyways.
