Is this the 8k vs 6k comparison, or is this the 8k HID vs stock bulb comparison ?

Also, can we find out from the guy whether a bulk postage discount will be applied or is he planning to send all ordered kits as inidividual items ?

Problem better to keep them all as individual and then hope that we don't get caught for VAT. I presume then that we can negotiate with the guy on the per-unit price given the bulk buy

those are regular 100w bulbs in the fogs (which have to go before i burn out the wiring!

CJ has 6k in his headlights as far as I know

Here is a kit for H3 bulbs, I might buy a set to compare.

http://tinyurl.com/24ppp5

works out at €94.43 inc. postage. postage is a bit steep at €50 IMO

With DHL shipping you're pretty much guaranteed to get caught out for VAT..

by **colm_mcm** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:09 pm

could think of better things to spend 120 odd quid on!

Website · by **Muad_dib77** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:27 am

Just to keep you guys up to date - I haven't yet received a reply from the seller..

I'd expect one later today.

Update:

Seller got back to me just now.
we need to purchase 100 sets to get a cheaper price.
Personally I don't fancy having 90sets of HID light sitting in the shed in the Garden - not do I have the money to spend.

Group buy destroyed by silly seller - I say we go ahead and order on our own.

by **steelroe** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 8:13 pm

I think we should buy form another seller rather than give this unhelpful git money.

by **colm_mcm** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 8:16 pm

I think they're reasonably priced as it is. he probably sells a fair amount.

by **Kace** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:50 pm

How about telling him that seeing as though we will 'only' have an order for 12-15 sets, that if he is unwilling to move on unit price, he surely can offer a reduction on postage similar to most other online retailers on eBay

by **colm_mcm** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:25 am

wouldn't a discount on postage involve a bulk package which will attract customs?

by **steelroe** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:20 pm

Maud

Scratch me from the list please i decided to get this set
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-XENO ... QQtcZphoto

€66 delivered to door.

Apparently postage is charge by weight so they cannot offer discount on multiple items

Website · by **Muad_dib77** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 9:37 am

The list is void at this stage as we couldn't get a good qoute - I'm assuming everybody is ordering on their own btw..

by **steelroe** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:21 pm

Why not wait and see if mine turn up first, that way only one of us may get caught

by **miss-enzo** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 6:36 pm

ok all this technical talk confuses me can someone tell me what size bulbs i need so i can buy a set! im goin for the super white (6k) bulbs but need to know size!

thanks

by **steelroe** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 10:26 pm

Ok

Ordered kit on 31st and it arrived today from Hong Kong. Exactly as it is described here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0144407693

Got 9006 6000K. Fitted it tonight and works perfect. I have a set of Philips ballasts and compared the new ones and they are identical. Actually the new ballasts have stainless steel covers.

Also you do not have to swap the red and black wires as the plug will fit either way around.

Now awaiting 9005 6000K bulbs for the Philips ballasts to fit to the main beams.

The a set of blue vision H3 bulbs for the facelift bumper spots.

by **steelroe** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 10:40 pm

They also do a H3 kit here at very reasonable price.

I ordered another set there for someone else a few days ago, price has gone up $10 since last time. Happy with quality though as is the person I'm ordering for.

Steelroe, have you still got that IFS, forgot all about it till today
