Keeff phone them up like I did and ask them to swap the 55w for the 35w. They will do this no problem I had mine around 6 months I told them it kept knocking the power out.

HIDS4U have a new range of LED bulbs that may be an improvement over previous LED's?

What's everyone running in their side lights? I need something that matches the 5000K colour profile.

Any of these any good?

These Osram led's are the ones. Most of the others don't work properly with the reflector that's in the side light.

Get 4000k or 6000k depending on your headlight bulbs.

I can't confirm that they'll work as I haven't tried them, I saw them in an email the other day.

I've just tried to add the condenser adaptor between the lamp and ballast... no way...don't work.

just 1 flash then die, previously were 2 or 3 flash then die...anyway, I'm sending everything back to the vendor.

I hate canbus...

talking back about HIDS4U...the 100% H7 HID conversion kit that run in our car is the following one ???:
http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h7-35w-ultimate ... n-kit.html

When I order I need to specify something about previous issues or my car model ?
the discout code still active now ?

thanks

I have the 35 w but they don't look like yours. Had mine over a year now and would work fine for a month or so then start playing up again.
