I have this one and it is really good, £33 all in and was only 4 days to arrive. 5 min to fit but does not come with hole cutter. I cannot recommend this enough, 4300 is what I have. best mod I have ever done on any car, as its such an enormous difference

I sold mine before summer as I was planning on selling the car before I'd be using lights.

Now I'm keeping it for another year I'll have to get a set myself :)

Instructions made it look as if they did and that they were missing and as parking sensors come with cutters, I guessed HIDs did

Actually I washed the car yesterday and used the polish on the back. Once it gets covered in birdshit I'll see how good it is.

Most of my parts have been sold as my intention was to sell the car. Wish I'd kept half of them lol.

When I get the HID's they will be going in sharpish :)

you will need a 32mm cutter irrc and ten min max one eve. such a cheap simple mod but I found with 4300 being the brightest, about 30% of drivers flash me thenget the favour returned.

I have a set of hole cutters so that aint a problem. I can do it at work if not.

I did have the 6000k set which is probably what I'll go with again. I like the blue tint but anything more than 6000k and Mr Plod won't like me :(

P.S. Congatulations on the promotion to "Calibra Expert" :D

If they flash me it's probably because they think I'm on main beam.

In which case I'll whack main beam on so they can see they are wrong :D
