Depending on where you are, Type G sells his kits for $55 if your in Melbourne. He can also help you install if you want. I've got 6000k HID and their white. If you want blue, go 8000k. 12000k for purple. The ones where you see are clearly blue are 8000k ones. 6000k have a hint of blue, but very little (or it might be because the facelifted CL9 has blue parkers).

thanks for the help! i got perfectly white led parkers so ill probably just go with the 6000k kit, will either one of those kits work with my car? ill more then likely go with the $99 ones, only due to quality reasons.
thanks Marko

So long as their H1, then they'll work just fine. Do know that you'll have to drill/cut a hole in the plastic cover for the lights so that the cables can run through. Otherwise, yeah, no problems.

what euro you got? lux or standard?

if you have a lux you dont need a conversion kit, just get d2s globes

Got the same kit for mine a while back for my fog lights. (h11 for fogs, H1 for full) I have a lux so my low beams are HID anyway. But all around I got 6000k installed, they look amazing and crazy bright :P I just thought 8000k would look a little too much blue in my preference, but the 6000k give a nice tinge of blue anyway but mostly bright white.
To install the ballasts, just find anywhere concealed and out of the way and just cable tie them to some framework, easiest way. E.g, my fog light ballasts are hooked up to the plastic cover on the bottom right behind the front lip and secured tight. Never had an issue..

Where do you guys get you're fog light blubs anyway? I can only find OEM replacement. Looking for something whiter, hoping for 5k, but seems like LED 6k or 4.3k bulbs are the only thing on the market.

Ebay dude, best place, and much cheaper. I remember Autobarn wanted to charge me $120 for the Phillips Crystal Vision bulbs when on ebay they were $50.... Just have a browse on there

Hey guys, ill try post up some pics of it soon, but all and all great and easy install, 6000k look great heaps bright with a tinge of blue... i used indutrial double sided tape to tape the ballasts and havnt had an issue with them yet but i do find one side is brighter then the other, but thats the case for almost everyone haha
but overall money well spent :P
