Just some pics of my install of the HID ballast. Absolutely brilliant!!!!

Now I have HID's I won't ever drive without them again, the difference is night and day... and I don't even need to turn on the foggies no more.

Ballast (little silver/black box with the red cables coming out of it)

Thanks Leo!

Fitting time under an hour :) Just need the tools.

Nice and neat install! I like the brackets - did that come with the kit or was that fabricated?

Yeah I thought that was pretty handy too! The bracket was included in the kit.

BTW I got the 6000's they are nice and bright :)

I thought high beam HIDs were a problem, because they don't like being turned off and on quickly...

any issues with the focus/scatter of the beams with the HiD?

OEM projectors do a pretty good job of cutoff. Slight flare on the left, but that is normal with all headlights - reason to reduce glare to oncoming drives on the right, whilst giving peripheral vision on the left.

congrats on the nice and clean install!

quick note, where did you buy these? (and a ballpark cost would be much appreciated)
