The measurement is colour temp not brightness.

The more blue you go the more useless the light output.

I've got a 6000k kit.

Pick up from thomastown if you want a set.

Don't know if you got a look on Friday but I think they are great. Have to aim the lights down pretty far though but still better than normal blue gloves for about the same money.

iv had HIDs in one of my past cars, as I was fed up with phillips globes blowing every 6 months. bought hids and never blew once, still got them in another car 3-4 years later still going strong. but yes can get away having them, but point headlights down.

so I see while searching ebay for hid kits, there is AC and DC power outputs, whats required to work with our cars?

looks like its fair bit cheaper to buy in person going off what dre paid for both fog and low beam kits..

just read this on another listing..

"Due to increased competition many manufacturers are offering DC ballasts as well as AC, to cut costs. DC types produce less light and reduce the HID bulb life! our kits use AC ballasts and as a result our bulbs last over 4000 hours."

anyone fitted any AC kits?

Pretty sure dc refers to input voltage and ac is the current of the output of ballasts.

The ballasts in mine are about the size of a matchbox car. I bought some Velcro tape and just stuck them close by. Gives about 30cm worth of cable. Didn't use the bracket I just cable tied for extra safety.

For anyone who wants the kit the same as mine:

I meant to say illegal sorry.

By the looks off it I'd go with the ones dre suggested. Great value for money there.

Easy as to fit. I did the same thing and just cable tied them down. Also for BA's you can get the hi-lo ones that also do your high beam.

[TRA1NR]

for the FG's the H4's are hi/lo as well rbjet, and then H7's are hi beam, and H11's are foglights.

I have emailed and texted alex and have not had a response yet.
