REALLY cheap HID lights

[Muad_dib77]

That's promising..

I'm assuming there was an actual tracking reference in the email you received?

EMS is usually pretty fast.

[colm_mcm]

was kinda hoping to have them by this weekend, but it looks unlikely now. Oh well!

9006 with 8k

Got some multi-LED side lights for it today, they look rather nice.

[colm_mcm]

Update: Still in Shanghai according to EMS tracking system

[colm_mcm]

Just got them this morning. Fully illustrated quality report imminent....

[colm_mcm]

All the fittings seem to be good quality. and the instructions actually make sense and are very clear.











Now to fit them.........

[Muad_dib77]

Looks like a nice piece of kit. Look remarkably like the last set I bought. Different stiker on the ballast box - but otherwise very close.

Passenger side fitted, drivers side not fitted.


The only bit that wasn't completely simple is that the polarity of the wires on the power plug that is usually connected to the regular bulb. I covered all cables and connectors in insulating tape and mounted the boxes on the front panel. All in all, around 15 minutes work.

Need to do the front fogs now though, they look too yellow now!

[Muad_dib77]

Can you get another shot when it's a bit darker perhaps?

[DirtyLopez]

yea just perform the tests tonight and tell us your opinion so... i think we could go for this group buy... what do you think guys? they work so far

[colm_mcm]

Wiring was simple by the way. This is a quick illustration of what goes where:

[Sebastian]

arent 8 k too blue ???

[colm_mcm]

not when your car is too blue

[Sebastian]

colm try a few pics this evening , when is darker !

Muad , so whats next ?!

[colm_mcm]

What could be a problem is that these came from outside the EU so there are taxes liable on them. I got away with it (I think) as it was labelled as a gift. Maybe a bulk order would get spotted, cancelling out any savings made by the bulk buy.

[DirtyLopez]

The guy could send 20 separate gifts

[colm_mcm]

given that half the cost is postage, it may be worth it to send them all together. What taxes would be liable? VAT @ 21%?

[Muad_dib77]

Taxes depend on the declared value.. Msot of these sellers are crooked, meaning they'll declare whatever you tell them to.

If we're happy to go ahead and order I will request a "special price", and then we can see what he comes up with savings wise..after that we'll have to sort the payments..

[colm_mcm]

I NEED to get some for the front fogs too. let me know how the group buy thing goes. Sooner rather than later though! I can't be looking at these yella lights much longer (not that I use them, but that's not the point...)

[Sebastian]

colm any night pics yet ?
