They work fine and ive got the second kit. Interferes with the radio every now and then when they are on, but that doesnt bother me too much.

I gone for the 6k temp.

Chewy you got the 8k??

They look slightly more blue through a projector.

I take it the only difference with the more $ kit is the ecu cancellers?

If this is the case could i just buy a set of cancellers? And fit them on.

Quick update:

Well i have fitted the Pro kit. Been on there from saturday with no ecu errors.

Driving to work this morning engine managment light came on. Its strange it did not come up straight away.

I unplugged the lights for a few mintues and te error light went off.

They are currently just behind the H7 light covers. Would the heat affect the ballast?

Not the heat, but the signals from the ballasts. Happened to a guy who fitted them on his 6n.

Mount them as far forward as you can.
