francis Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Drove past an blue Abflug somewhere near Bournemouth today on my travels! Looked very nice but as you were oncoming didn't get to have a good look. Also drove past an import silver supe with a lady in it on the begining of the M3 and saw a black one going in the opposite direction on the M3 a bit later around 5:30. FYI I was in the red UK spec with HIDs on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Where did you get your phillips HIDs from and how much where they, really good upgrade to have this time of yr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 I wrote a mini review about a year ago, it should still be on here somewhere. Anyway I got them from a guy called supervtec on eBay. The ballasts are top knotch, my only complaint is that one of the bulbs blew and I had to get a replacement but they really do look the biz and are an infinite improvement on the old halogens.

Rayman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Will check that out, why did the bulb blow, was it not up to the job, i thought these hid bulbs where supposed to last a lifetime or have i read wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 No I think you're right. Whilst I am sure the ballasts are OEM Philips, I highly doubt the bulbs are Bosch as he claims. It is possible to rebase real Philips HID bulbs, eg the expensive Ultinon 6000k ones, but you're looking at at least £100 for the bulbs plus the cost of rebasing them.

Rayman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 right think he's gone out of business anyway, just checked his website from one of your posts and he has nothing for sale on fleebay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hmmm, oh well... If you're looking at HIDs have you seen the recent "Vision" group buy? People seem to be very happy with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
