Hay again... With HID's are they gonna be differentfrom country to country..IE if i buy say US can use them in the uk? i cant se why there would be a difference as surely its just the direction of the light itself not the bulb but wanna make sure!! Also how much do they vary from company to company? Are they all gonna be kick ass bright? Anything else i should watch out for?

That's how it works when you deal with chinese manufacturers. | | | 01-14-2007, 10:09 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: ipswich Posts: 656 | oh i c well good luck with sorting the bits out look forward to seeing the kits oh an would the $130 include shipping to uk __________________ 318TI FOR SALE MESSAGE ME FOR MORE INFORMATION | | | 01-14-2007, 10:30 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | Well, being on step 1 of many, I still don't even have a good idea as to how much it would be to get it to the USA. If there's going to be multiple UK/euro buyers, it could be cheaper for me to get them in bulk, ship multiple to one location in europe, and that person to divide it up there. With what I have now, the $130 would not include shipment to europe. | | | 01-15-2007, 01:35 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: dorchester Posts: 700 | soooo if i get a set and decide i dont like the bulb colour or they burn etc can i just replace the hid bulbs with new hid bulbs than?? Or are they sealed to the ballasts etc? | | | 01-15-2007, 10:34 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 | normally the capusles (bulbs) ant the ballast boxes are 2 separate entities.. so if a bulb were to fade (they loose power/ blue-ness) then technically you could swap up with any capsule with the same fitting , H1 H7 or so on the connecters are "snap on" anyway, so if the connectors dont match your particular ballast, u can just unclip the old connectors from the original capsules and bobsyouruncle __________________ Vin Number decode and Retrofit Pdfs Available Free !
