Personally i would go for a 50 or 55 watt kit not a 35. And get 4300 or 6000K bulbs. 8000 would be a little to blue IMO. but then you may like that kind of thing. You will need bulb adapters as well.

I have this kit with 4300 bulbs. (the best for light output and the same as OEM bulbs) It comes with cancelors and bulb adapters. Its plug and play and works 100%.

I got a kit of ebay before and one headlight strobed and my radio reception was really bad with the lights on where the ballasts were cheap and not insulated propperly. It was that bad i had to take them off in the end. It was a false economy. It never came with the cancelors or bulb adapters either and by the time i had got all that i had just as well of gone with the HID's direct kit.

 

So the kit you have sent the link for has every thing included i.e bulb holders?
and thanks thats a great help,, and i do prepare an ice white colour to a blue really.
Thanks

 

Yep that kit will have everything you need. If you want ice white get 6000K bulbs.

 

6000k are ice white with a tint of blue if you put them in projector headlights.

And please don't get a 55watt kit you'll end up annoying other drivers and one night get your car bricked

 

No you wont. I have had a 50 watt kit on my past 3 cars (4 years) and never had a problem with the law or been flashed by oncoming drivers once.
If they are aligned propperly you will be fine.

 

There's no need for a 55 watt kit as it overheats the plastic lens, 35 watt is bright, I'd recommend hids4u who do a car specific kit which is plug and play, from my experience I found hids direct to be less useful than a chocolate teapot

 

My plastic lenses look fine after 18 months of use. This picture was taken shortly before an MOT with the halogens back in just incase.

 

Crespo, are you 100% sure they are 55 watts? I'm pretty sure BMW lights are fused at 15 amps and on 55 watt hids it takes over 8 amps per light when the ballasts ignite them, so 16+ amps going through a 15 amp fuse is cause for fuse blow.

 

There 50watt mate. The exact kit in the link i posted, Its written on the ballasts.
Not that its cast iron proof but it is written there.
I didnt even know you could get 50watt to be honest, I always thought it was either 35 or 55.???

 

hi sorry to hijack but i got a kit of my old astra with h7 bulb fitment would i have to buy cancelers
