DARETT Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Rog, Your certainly not having the luck everyone else was. Not sure it was faulty this time as I checked it beforehand, however your pm has been replied to and just let me if you want a refund or another replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Darett, HIDS arrived, cheers mate... How have you all attached the ballasts? Drilled holes in the engine bay and bolted them, used existing holes (where?) or used double sided tape (is that secure and will it last in a hot engine bay)?

Some have used cable ties - easy way I'll be taking out the lights and bolting them to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I installed mine underneath the headlights with several cable ties. I didn't want to drill any holes, cable ties are fine provided the ballasts are well positioned and in a secure location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get some 501 Led's for them, they're pretty cheap and range from £5-10. Looks good though Get those fogs swapped for HID as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Sent on Monday Rog, unfortunately he didn't send it recorded although I left a note asking to! Should be with you anytime I suspect. Neo, the 501's are a straight swap and no soldering is required at all. You can buy some from : http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-W5W-LED-Bulbs/ Cheapest are £3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
