robin Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I found loads of places that did 9006. http://www.xenonshop.co.uk/ http://www.librautomotive.co.uk http://www.convert2xenon.com/products.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georigg Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Found this site on Ebay selling both UK spec and Jspec kits at £75 buy-it-now. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-HID-CONVERSION-KIT_W0QQitemZ290133466485QQihZ019QQcategoryZ10428QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem However on my BMW site, there has been some correspondence in the past concerning the acceptability of retro-fit kits as apparently some MOT garages will fail your car if it does not meet the Spec requirements of cars fitted with OE HID lighting. Apparently this spec requires a means of headlight cleaning and the ability of the lighting to be levelled, or self-levelling, because of the risk of the higher intensity light blinding oncoming vehicles. It apparently does not stop peeps fitting the kits though! For myself, I would rather instal xenon bulbs, the blue envelope type, rated at 6000K providing a very white light similar to an HID kit. (The lesser "K" rating bulbs are not so good). Hope above helpful. Rgds George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Should be ok for UK cars as they have headlight washers and adjustable beams from in the car. I think I will still put normal bulbs in for the MOT though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiceRocketUk Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 thanks Nick, are the loom plugs for the bulbs not different on uk and j-spec£thought they were different widths), hence the fitting at the bulb end where it goes into the headlamp I know will be 9006 however will it be correct at the end where the light loom plug fits in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
