Default HID GB alternative supplier

After the first HID GB I felt the price was a little steep so I contacted a very close supplier that I have come to know and trust over the years.
They were able to offer me the following options at the same price as the first group buy but with £7 shipping.
So £90 for the single beam kit and £120 for the bi-xenon kits, posted to your door.

the options are details of the kits are as follows:
Single bulb kits: 4300K 5000K, 6000K, 7000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K, 14000K
bi-xenon: 6000K, 8000K

they come as complete kits with bulbs, balasts and all wiring.

An added option is increased output.
Standard kits are 35W, (like the other GB I think), but 42W and 50W kits are also available. for 42W please add £10 to the prices and for 50W please add £20 to the prices quoted.

I will post pictures of the kits up and exact specs over the weekend.

However I must stress that these kits are not in stock with the supplier and will take 3 weeks to deliver upon confirmation of the order. I'll sort out details of payment ect if there is enough interest.

Here is a picture of the kit:




In the descriptions it says that the double bulb sets come with 4 bulbs, please note that this refers to a rather expensive option of having separate xenons for high and low beam for the H4's. These cost £190 + post. The standard bi-xenon H4's have low and high beam built into one bulb.

I will contact the supplier in the morning to confirm the certification of these sets.
Specs for the 35W are:
Output voltage: 9v-16V
Normal Voltage: 12V
Normal current: 3.5A
Peak Input Current: 10A
Peak power output: 35W
working Temp -40 to 105 degrees C
Usage Life: approx 3000 hrs

There is also a Fog lamp series of these kits for the following fitments: H3,H8,H9,H10,H11.
They are available in 35, 42 and 50W output and are priced at £90, £100 and £110 delivered respectively.

I know with the other ones some modification is required, removal of front bumper etc, any idea if this is the case with these? also any warranty etc, as with the other I believe they were going wrong and replacements not offered.

Do you mean 'E' marked Jason? They can't be as you would have to have automatic levelling headlights with HID to make them legal IIRC. Manual electric levelling does not count!

Pictures and specs now posted. Of course anyone is welcome to join this GB as long as they supply the details fo the fitment they need. I'm going to let it run for 2 weeks to check numbers. If there are sufficient then it will go ahead with delivery 3 weeks after the closing date.
thanks
will

Like conventional bulbs, the more power (watts) the brighter the light.
