[Ryan Fong]

Recently I'm looking to install an HID conversion kit but there are millions of choices online, any good suggestions around 150ish quid?

Appreciate any recommendations..Cheers!

BTW, is there anybody heard about HID Direct or using their products?

Is there anybody using the MTEC kit?

I did some research on the internet and being told the MTEC kit is quite good, with a reasonable price around 150 quid.

Mine are currently in the post, cost me about £46 including postage from E-Bay

(seller in Hong Kong). Several LOC members have these fitted so for that price

I feel you really can't go wrong. I checked the feedback which is pretty good.

See Item number: 110191752733 or diane-shop on E-Bay

Wozza, just bought the same set, although its £8 cheaper if you buy it from his AU store, not sure if ill get a sting when it comes to currency conversion in paypal though.

thanks for all the advice on HID's chaps, appreciated.

Chris, I've checked out the kit from hids4u...the cheapest one still costs nearly 200 quid..

too much for a student like me..

HID ULTRA conversion kit single beam (9006, 6k) & P+P = £94.99 to my calculations from there Ryan

I only think Dipped is worth getting, (due to taking longer to fire up than conventional bulbs so no good for a quick flash)

maybe you looked at 2 kits 1 Dipped 1 Main Beam ?

My cheaper ones arrived today from Hong Kong, I will take them to the LOC TDI Dyno Meet 24th November

and compare with other people's kits and give them a test fire up if anyone is interested.

Wozza, just bought the same set, although its £8 cheaper if you buy it from his AU store

erm I did matey AU$49.99 + AU$59.00 P+P = £46.60 total

[Noel]

just ordered a HB4 6000K kit from HIDs-direct last night, should have them installed by wednesday, will report back if you can wait?

price is more affordable at £79.99 :)

[Ryan Fong]

Wozza, I just want to upgrade the low beam (almost never use high beam)...

Noel, thanks for your reply, hope to hear from you soon~ :winky:

P.S. Do I need a projector to concentrate the hid? If dont install the projector, is it illegal on road?

[yemgi]

You don't need a projector. HID is illegal if color is above 6000k and no washing jet is installed

[Ryan Fong]

Cheers m8..

is there a big difference in performance between with and without leveller?

oh! thats odd!... mine came to AU $88.50 £38.50 [AU $33.00 + AU $55.50 p&p]...

how soon did they arrive? was it an easy install ?

the leveler has nothing to do with the power. As its name suggests it is used to set the level of the headlight beam

All the info you need was above matey pmsl

[Gareth Rose]

I was thinking of getting HIDS but bit worried about the headlight washer bit, cos I havnt got any cos Ive got the styling kit. So is it a no no for me?

[yemgi]

it is up to you, technically, there is no problem, it is just for you to decide wether you want to be road legal or not

[Ryan Fong]

Just fitted my kit today, it works fine and it's really bright... :winky:

However, the driver's side headlight sometimes doesn't light up, needs to turn off and on again to make both sides light up.

I believe I saw this kind of discussion here, but I couldnt find it out right now.

Any solutions will be really appreciated!

Regards

Ryan

Just check the connections are secure....

If all is well, and the problem still exists, you may have one faulty ballast/ignitor unit, which should be replaced under warranty.

mine does it sometime when there is humidity in the air. The only way I found to solve it is what you do: switch off then on again.
