Diane shop HID's

[johntheboy]

Just on the lookout for some at the moment and cant seem to find a good link to some. The only ones I could see seemed to be specifically for the TT. Anyone any ideas on a direct link to a set by any chance thats got a fair bit of time on it before the ad ends?

Also price wise how much do they tend to go for on Diane? I assume it's an american based shop so how much do the postage costs seem to be?

Looked at Hids4u but they seem to be a bit more expensive.

Plus do people tend to remove the light covers from the hear of the healight units all together or drill through the existing ones? Just obviously with moisture possibly getting in.

Cheers!

Any H7R or H7 will do.
Yeah drill the rear cover, and if you get bad radio reception get a relay loom (doddle to fit plug and play search my threads)

Think I payed circa £42-44 delivered for mine from Diane shop last year.

Where does the relay loom fit onto and go to Lee? Havent read much into people getting bad radio reception.

You get a ringed neg and positive to attach to the battery, and two spade connectors to get the feed of the standard headlight connector.
Then the two other connectors attach to the feed for the ballasts, so you draw the voltage from the battery and not the standard car loom.

I've bought two sets from here:

http://www.vvme.com/

No problems with them at all. They come to about £38 delivered for the standard ballasts. Very quick delivery aswell - DHL from China which takes around 3-4days. Dont let the fact it comes from China put you off. Its a very high quality kit and you'll find most HID kits come from there anyway. You can have a search about them on google as there's been other users in other forums who have bought from them and been very happy.

Your choice 4300k is very white 6k is slightly blue 8k is a lot bluer.
