RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone used these before? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HID-Kit-Xenon-Converion-H1-H3-H4-H7-H9-HB3-HB4-9005-D2R_W0QQitemZ190384931673QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2c53d38359 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Not purchased that set mate, got a set from an e-Bay dealer though £54.99 good quality kit, plug and play and great look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I weren't just singling out that kit just for example purposes! Although that is the cheapest i've found, just wanting to know if anyone has had any problems with a kit of ebay in general? I seem to remember a few saying that the ballast's had gone wrong on theres and that they needed to buy new ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm thinking for £30 odd , even i they only last a year its still cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdnixon Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I always prefer to get the slim ballasts. Had 3 regular ballasts go on an old car b4 switching to the slim versions. Also try and find one with either a dedicated wiring loom or a relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdnixon Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I needed a wiring loom like this for my MR2 Got it from here. Really quick delivery and its all in the UK already. Would recommend this seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H4-H4-3-Bi-Xenon-HID-Conversion-Kit-Low-High-Beam-U-K_W0QQitemZ330379346373QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4cec24c1c5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Thanks for the info mate, I've ordered a set now for the dip beam, are these are literally plug and play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Thanks for the info mate, I've ordered a set now for the dip beam, are these are literally plug and play? No these don't work on the Supra!!!! Only joking I have no idea how good these are but they are pretty easy to fit, I managed to fit mine myself, that is how easy they are! I found it easier to do with the headlights out. Give me a shout if you need some advice or a hand fitting them, they take about 20 minutes to fit. You got mine off Knight Racer for about £80 delivered.

RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm going to see how these go, there £31 all in all , so if they do go pop then i'll buy some higher priced ones! Looks like these come with a years warranty anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike3.0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 What size is the Supra? I wanted the main beam, is that HB3? Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I know dip is HB3 (9005) thats what ive just ordered, not sure about the main beam bulb though! Would've thought it would have been in a thread somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 9005j dipped and 9006j main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I was going to get some for £60 from a proper dealer website, but they actually look good, looks like the same wiring loom as the ones from Knight-Racer as far as i can tell, and the same brackets. But the ballast looks different. Edited April 1, 2010 by devan (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I just bought mine from http://www.hids-direct.co.uk for £60 delivered. Got a thread running here. Pic's going up shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Isn't the type of bulb dependant on the headlights you have? I.e different for UK Glass and J-Spec Plastics? Maybe I'm lying or making it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra N_A Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 this kit seems pretty decent matey http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SLIMLINE-HID-XENON-KIT-H4-6000K-TOYOTA-Supra-Turbo_W0QQitemZ270518923283QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3efc2f3013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Well these's came today! Got to say quality seems good I did think they weren't working at first after connecting all the plugs together, but it turns out that the chinese are a bit different to us and have the power wires as black and the negative as red! The plug I put on the ballast sending power to it , I had the plug on the wrong way round, on the ballast unit itself it has a (-) and (+) on it i connected the plug so the red matched up with the (+) and they didn't work, it was only after about 20mins checking and double checking I decided to turn the plug around, they came on straight away! They look ten times better over normal bulbs and for £33 and a years warranty included its a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdnixon Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you buy the kits direct from China the guarantee isnt worth the paper is written on. You have to return them to the factory in China, have them checked then wait for a replacement to be sent. 9 times out of 10 they dont action any returns - I know because i visit China often and have contact with various factory owners - often the stuff is quality but dont buy based solely on the warranty!
