Hope you have your flame suit at the ready ;) Care to elaborate?

I bought a second set of hids and found that one of the ballasts was faulty. Spoke with Diane 'robbing' Shop and they said to send it back. I did and never received my new pack so I am now down £68! I sent them email after email, spoke with Paypal and eBay but hey could not do anything! I'll always bad mouth that store now, BEWARE everybody!

I had a 182 before tihs and the facotry 4300k looked good enough for me, using 4300k on the leon headlights wont give the same effect as there not projector lenses there reflector, the clio gets its slight blue tinge from the projector. 5000k Will give you a nice crisp white light on standard reflector headlights but not so mcuh the HID effect, 6K will give you white light with a strong blue tinge to it which is most popular, i have them. 8000K and your into a blue effect light and everyone coming towards you with burnt retina's and a queue at spec savers.

I got mine's from here: http://www.vvme.com

was around £35 delivered when i got them back in june. Looks like they're having a sale so it may even be cheaper. The quality is very good. You can google them for reviews and there are other satisfied users. Delivery is very quick, only 4 days from china.

In the end i stumped up £107 for the 6000k reflector type ones off HIDS4U. Got them today and must say it all looks pretty professional, in a nice box etc with English instructions. I decided to go with HIDS4U because you get a 2 yr warranty, which in the long run i reckon will save me money because i've never been a fan of things sold by Chinese on eBay! Ill let people know how they look, but am i gonna have to remove the headlights to do a nice neat job as the n/s one looks a right bitch to get to!

No, you wont need to remove the headlights. The ns one is a bit fiddly but its only the same as changing the bulb. You can mount the ballast on the battery box, or inside it like this.

I've got a pick of the os, but its in the temporary position. I initially bought a cheap set from ebay but they were faulty so got the same kit as you from hidsrus :D i havnt yet got round to hiding it away between the washer bottle and the inner wing where i originally had it.
