Do you mind me asking where you got them and how much, i've seen lots of different one's on ebay cheap as well, but i don't know the difference about the power doesn't it make them look a different colour what are the ones to go for?

Paid Ł34 for them delivered off ebay from hong kong - They have 1 year warranty

Had them on my old car for just over a year with no problems. Passed the MOT with them.

Nice, I had these in my focus and swapped them over to my mondeo. Failed the MOT tho in the mondeo!

Got factory fitted hid's now in my new focus, FAR better than any aftermarket kit!

A few guys on an old forum i used to use had loads of problems with the cheap kits, eventually they will go dim. Ballasts are not waterproof either so careful mounting is required!

I got my kit a few years back from hids4u, cost over Ł200!!
