Very easy to fit, I fitted mine yesterday to my 07 fabia vrs. The only problem i found was mounting the ballast on the passenger side because the engine bays are so tight!

If you go onto http://www.hids4u.co.uk, Check out Xenon HID conversion kits, then you will need the Ultimate kit as it's for new cars (post '02). Should bring up £250 but type in "ASTRA" in the discount code, and you will see it shoot down to £130!

That was the tip from Alex off here, saved me a lot of money!

This is only slightly related to this topic, but I was looking at the xenon conversion kits and there a bit pricey.
What kinda effect do the halogen bulbs that you can buy have compared to the xenons? Would i notice a difference or are they just overpriced normal bulbs?

For good bulbs your looking at £40-60 mate. Even then they are pretty wack compared to Xenons. For £100 of HIDs4U the Xenons are well worth the extra money. Have a look at Dinos 9n in this thread.
