Seeing as many of us are upgrading to the projector style lamps which are much better to safely use HID kits, I thought i'd offer a group buy to see if there is any interest?

I have direct contact with a supplier I have used in China for about 5 years. They were sourced by a friend that was living out there at the time so I know they are great quality, I can offer them at a very good price because there's no middle man that's making the price go up

The prices would be as follows for a 35w slim ballast D2S kit

5 people £50 delivered.

10 people £45 delivered

15+I may be able to get a bit more off!

I've got a few kits coming so I can take pictures, I don't have any as yet because the supplier has just changed their ballasts to a slimmer design.

I am just gathering interest on this thread and have not started a group buy yet. If you have any questions post up!

Im guessing we can choose temperature aswell ie 4300k,500k etc etc?

if i can have some 4300k ill put my name down for these.....

Interested @ £45.

I'll wait for the pics before i put my name down i think.

55w ballasts?

55w ballasts?

Id be careful fitting the 55w ballasts as the xenons have a marking on them stating 35w maximum. Could be fine but wouldnt want you to melt the new lights!

Well normal halogens are 55w so I wouldn't think it would melt them but reduce the life of the bulbs certainly lol

Damn it, I bought a set the other week

Its more to do with the heat the different bulbs will put out.

Interested as long as it can be done speedily. I already have my Xenons and want to crack on and source all the bits.

Would the wattage not be any indication of how hot they would be? I always though the lens on my lamps was cooler running my 35w hids that with the 55w halogens. Your maybe right tho, that's how I thought it might go lol

Think its more to do with "over lighting" the bulbs ie 35w to 55w so they burn brighter, so burn hotter.This is what ive been told anyway.

35w, my supplier doesn't stock them D2S with 55w, not many seem to!

Damn it, I bought a set the other week

shame!

It depends how quickly we get enough people really, once ordered they would be at your door within 1-2 weeks max.

The 55w will run hotter than 35 but they do run cooler than halogens.

Yeh that would make sense, altho any 55w kits you buy come with 35w bulbs

I'll go for the same. Now I just need to find out if I can order the projectors, and also if I need to fit headlight washers for MOT...

Word on the street is that the new rules say that if washers/ levellers are fitted they must work but if you don't have them then they can't be tested so they can't not work and you pass. Kinda like if you have front fogs in a way

That sounds about right to me.

here we go again

We'll leave it at that then!

4300k is pretty much what manufacturers use in oem headlights, 600k has a slight tint of blue, 8000k is pretty blue, then 10000 and 12000 are purpley - more for shows.

im interested but unsure as to what these can replace? sooooorrry newbie!

You won't need washers or self levelling for the MOT.

If/when this does become a group buy, please post it in the relevant forum and in accordance with the rules.
