Out of interest what H7 kit have people gone for form HIDs4U. Because there are 3 versions and i am wondering what the major differances are between them as there is a rather large price jump

Exactly - providing the adjustment is accurate, the beam pattern isnt too bad whatsoever.

Discount code does work, you need to PM me for the new one.

Basically whenever you change to HID's you ought to get the beams realigned for the reasons you've said David. This solves the dodgy beam pattern problem and lets you see as far as you want lol. Also once aligned you can always use the headlamps / load adjuster inside the car.

I think that you have solved all the normal "light performance" problems asociated with HIDs in one foul swoop by fitting new headlamp units that use projector lens. This must be the only way to change to HIDs sucessfully.

Yea i realise that Kenny. Im just trying to figure out why certain cars need one type of HID and other cars need newer (more expenvice) types of HID's

Not 100% sure on this, but i think the dearer hids are digital ballasts, these are needed to stop any errors showing up on ur ecu as newer cars are getting too clever these days!

the new ballasts are soft start ones, these require less initial surge of power from the car to start up and do not trigger an error light on the dash for the car

and so being clever, have a greater price tag too
