Its pretty straightforward - just a few wires to connect and two bulbs to change.
Count me in!
HIDs4u.co.uk may be able to do us a deal. Someone care to drop them an email?

Something like the above - we might be able to get a good deal with enough interest!

this is what you get with the kits:
2x control units and brackets:
2x xenon Hid bulbs with integral igniters:
1x relay/ecu unit to control the main beam/flash:
1x wiring harness:
1x fitting kit:
instuctions and warranty card:
all goes into a rather nice case:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to fit the kit allow yourself 30 mins to make a good tidy job. its as simple as this:
first remove the old bulbs from the lights:
they look like this compared to the Hid bulb carriers:
trim the inside from the old dust covers to fit over the new bulb holders:
take the brackets:
and position them in a suitable place using the bolts provided and clip in the control boxes:
take the wiring loom and run it from one side of the bulhead to the other, I tucked it under the scuttle panel cover thingy:
plug in the relay/ecu unit to the loom and fix in a suitable position (I tucked it behind the battery) :
plug in the plugs from the wiring loom to the ballast boxes:
fit the dust covers and the new bulbs into the holders, they lock into place nicely. and connect the plugs to the control boxes (I forgot to fit the covers for the pic) :
then connect the 2 earth wires that are on the wiring loom (I used the fixing bolts that I held the brackets in place with) and 1 positive to the battery.
tidy up the wires using the cable ties provided and fir up the lights. its reccomended to leave them on initially for 10 mins for them to stabilise then stand back and admire your work
dipped beam:
they give a fantastic beam pattern:
the differnce is unbelievable:!
no lights:
