The only problem I'm having at the moment is sometimes the bulbs won’t start first time. I sometimes get one start first time but the other side may take 3 or 4 on off's to get going. All parts are covered by a two year manufactures warranty so I'm not to worried, but I will be sending an email today to hids 4 u regarding the issue. Let’s see what happens.

Did you have any close up pics of your grille?

4300K is maximum usable lumens before it goes blue tint

If you wanted me to I could post you some earthing braid, crimps and packing material? For a small fee of course

Tony could you pm me regarding your kind offer please.

Point taken, I was basing my information on what I could purchase on the HIDS4U website as shown attached.

I was always told 5K colour temp was the best for visible light?

It seems to have abated but not completely gone.

It's worse in my foggy's. not sure what I can do to stop that though.

After a 3 hour drive back last night it has cleared and hasn't come back yet. I was going to put some petroleum jelly around the rubber bung to prevent any moister getting back in around the seal....

Would love to PM but can't due to not being a member for long enough and haven’t made more than 30 posts yet!

I can get together a small kit of parts inc earthing braid, crimps, tie wraps, packing foam and a few nuts and bolts for fixing.

What kit have you purchased? I just need to know what size the fixing holes on your ballasts are.

Just PayPal me what it costs to post that’s all.
