dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/02/12 12:56 AM Share Posted 05/02/12 12:56 AM (edited) Which ones do you have Dre? What brightness?The measurement is colour temp not brightness. The more blue you go the more useless the light output. I've got a 6000k kit. Pick up from thomastown if you want a set.Don't know if you got a look on Friday but I think they are great. Have to aim the lights down pretty far though but still better than normal blue gloves for about the same money.

DC types produce less light and reduce the HID bulb life! our kits use AC ballasts and as a result our bulbs last over 4000 hours."anyone fitted any AC kits?

dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/02/12 05:27 PM Share Posted 05/02/12 05:27 PM The ballasts in mine are about the size of a matchbox car. I bought some Velcro tape and just stuck them close by. Gives about 30cm worth of cable. Didn't use the bracket I just cable tied for extra safety.For anyone who wants the kit the same as mine:eBay seller z-labsAlex 0407 466 33338 French StreetThomastownalex346v8@hotmail.comI just went there- operates out of garage at the back of the house.

By the looks off it I'd go with the ones dre suggested. Great value for money there. Easy as to fit. I did the same thing and just cable tied them down. Also for BA's you can get the hi-lo ones that also do your high beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
