Would look better with the red strip in the bumpers, makes it a Anni at the end of the day.

Finally bought myself a HID kit ive gone for the 6000k with the H1 bulbs plus they have got the slim line ballast.I still dont really know to much about these HID kits but the 6k seems to be a popular choice and in terms of brightness not to much.Im gonna have ago fitting the kit myself hopeully  :grin: so once its fitted ill put a few pictures up  :wink: I also reinstalled my rear wiper yesterday for the winter at least as I just hate not being able to see out my rear window in bad weather so thats back on but Ive put the 1 series BMW arm on which Danny Monday gave me when buying me old wagon  :wink:

Good stuff, the HID's are pretty simple to install, i'm sure i've read somewhere that if your running hella quads then you need to disconnect a little yellow plug that lives under the airbox. It stops the 'dip dim' or something like that! Basically stops the headlights coming on dimly with the sidelights  :smiley:

Nothing to do with Hella's mate.  :wink:

Basically when you put the kit in, sometimes when you just have your sidelights on the dipped beam HIDs start flickering. Pull the plug out and it goes away.

Where all my moneys went.

I was not a big fan of these lights either but mine had the clear ones on when I bought it and they kind of look ok. Still not completely convinced but giving them a chance and at the moment I think they look ok.  Looking good though Blu....you going to Bassett's Pole this Thursday Mate ??  I wanted to go last time but the dash decided to take up smoking so car was off the road for that week   :grin: :grin:

The lights look really good :afro:

What kind of roads do you drive on to get your car that filthy though?  :shocked:

See what I meant about the rear spoiler and wiper now  :smiley:

The aero of the car sucks all the dirt to the rear.
