What does everyone have or recommend?

There seem to be about 1 Billion kits on eBay, i have no idea what to go with.

Spec I want is 4500-5500k Slim ballasts and my bulbs are originally H1.

The rest i have no clue about.


Looking for suggestions and advice.

I'll try and find the link mate. Tbh its a bit of hit and miss when it comes to the cheaper kits. I bought my last cheap set off Diane-shop and was totally ripped off.

Most of the uk dealers all want more ££££ but the fact that you can send them back without waiting weeks for a new set is a big plus point.

According to the manual, you only need to test the levelers/washers IF they are present. If they arent there you cant test them so not a fail. Beam pattern with be same as im using shrouds so they wont blind anyone.

If worst comes to worse ill lash in the old units for the mot
