Wow, you must of had some real cheap and nasty ones in that case.

I've used the same company for my HIDs in all my cars and they have always been brilliant - to the point where I won't have a car without them. Always pass MOTs too.

If there is no guide about on fitting them I may just take some piccies when I fit them tomorrow

Will be a busy day tomorrow - service the car, change front pads, change front discs, fit HIDs and finally MOT.
