Hi all seen these on Ebay, has anyone bought a kit from them would you recommend them.
Cheers
Link to Ebay

Good link, and the prices do seem rather good.

We had a group buy a few years ago with prices around £350 mark. I had them fitted (think they are Philips) and they have been working very well since. Massive improvement upon the originals.

Let me know if you get them fitted.

This is the kit that I bought ( direct from HIDS4U) and I paid £210, so this is a steal !

Well worth it, especially at that price.

Are there kit easy to fit and a quality unit ??
Cheers

Ive held back from buying cause of the cold nights

But there back on

Ebay Link HID4U

At £160 I thought a few you guy might go for it too.

I might treat myself too

I have an hids4u kit on my car. Vast improvement over standard.

Although one of my ballast units failed recently, i emailed them and they said just send it back and it will be replaced.

Posted it off on Monday 2nd class, and the new one arrived today. They are very nice people to deal with, i have found.

Very tempted.....fancy a group buy

Just seen this myself but I have just bought myself some Osram Silverstar H1 Bulbs. I thought these were the items everyone recommends?

So what is the difference between the bulbs and this kit?

Im in 3 group buys at the minute so please no more . Upgrading the Coupes standard lights is a must for me but I cant see why I should pay this kind of money over a £20 set of bulbs?

*chanting

Group Buy, Group Buy, Group Buy

Im in, where do i sign

I said NO more group buys

Al, you can help me fit them!

I might be in pending a reasonable dicount Your talking me into it...

`If` a group buy where to happen, stick my name down
In the mean time, I`ll pm the guy and see what he will offer if we get 5-10 buyers

sent him a pm asking for any discounts for 5-10 units and for 10+ units

Note that price is PLUS VAT. But I'd be up for a group buy

What is the difference between this item and just buying Osram Silverstar H1 Bulbs?

Graham you've bought (better than std) halogen bulbs.

HID's are a full Xenon conversion like a lot of new cars come with (slight blue tinge).
Much brighter.

HID bulbs are a gas discharge lamp unit (very high voltage ignites a gas in a sealed unit) instead of a coiled bit of wire that heats up and gives out light.

They are way way brighter than any normal bulb.


I remember Pauls attempts at a Samco hose group buy

Thankyou Jimbo

The bulbs I`m getting for the moment are still a damn site better than standard though?

Fitting pickled onions to your headlights is an improvement to the crap standard lights

stop the slagging Jimbo ,do you want at set or not ?

I nominate you,to try a Samco group buy they where a nightmare to deal with.
BTW the very first forum group buy............way back, was by................ Me ,I imported 10 dial surrounds from Germany,that was over 5 years ago

and just incase you are wondering he has not replied yet

Isn't JimO up for another illuminating group buy?

Reply back from them.....................


Hi Paul
I can offer you guys the kits for 175.00 inc pp
The link would be http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=238
This can be odd kits bought 1 at a time using the link
If you would rather organise a big group buy of 10 kits all sent to same address then the price would be 165inc free postage
I support many forums and this is the best price yet!
Thanks again for your email
Regards
Ian

let me know what you guys think

That's a good price. The last group buy was 179.99 + £10 postage.

so shall I count you in then Matt

No. Guess how i happen to know the price from the last group buy.

I know but they are getting old now,time for new ones

Em, could maybe do with a spare bulb just in case actually. Find out what it costs and how much percentage off you can get.

price is fine by me would rather it just get delivered straight to the door than getting it sent to paulm for then paul to waste more time by sending it on to the rest of us

Links say

Group Buy Pilot - HID Conversion Kit at £179.99

Like Begbie says for the sake of a tenner better they are delivered to your own door

Agree with Begbie easier to our own door.

Im in - does anyone know what these would cost outside the group buy normally? A figure would help more people sign on for the group buy.

Paul i rmbr the samco hose group buy..... are you still finding out if i can get mine in Yellow?

as far as I can see this is the `Non group buy` price....please check it out in case i have missed anything.....
http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=45

and this was the link he sent me/us.....which states `group buy` in the header ......
http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=238

,he stated this was his lowest price,It might `only` be by £5 but that makes it £49.99 cheaper than listed per unit on the site .
Yup I do agree for the extra time/ cost /arranging involved,and since the I havn`t been forgiven for the samco fiasco maybe better straight to your door,would be better(and you can order when you want too),but if you want and we do get 10 I don`t mind handling it,but then there will be an extra postage cost to yout door

So its 179.99 Individual

What happens if 10 of us buy of him

Who is going for a set ???

No edz he is charging us £175 in total

and yes i`m going for a set ....Just for info I`ve put another post up in group buys

Got my Kit this morning looks A OK ,

Will let you know how I get on with fitting them.

thats good service............. glad to hear it

That was good service, let us know how fitting is - with pics please

Was there an installation guide on here somewhere ??

Thanks Paul

Hi All couldnt wait till the weekend so I fitted them tonight worse part is getting the bulbs in. Mounting the Ballast is a pain as the lead from the bulbs is bit short. But otherwise they are EXECELLENT I cant recommend these enough they have transformed the way my Coupe looks all me mates where well impressed, Highly Recommend Especially at this price
