Completed - test lights

Also installed Mugen Grill.

Compliments from a dude on here - thanks bro!

THE EPIC FAIL!!!

NOW AFTER 30mins of running the HiD s ive decided to feel the bulb base housing the fckin whole bulb fell off!!

Thas right it fell off from the mounting points!!

Turns out the locking clips on the bulb black plastic bit couldnt withstand the heat that the bulb generated and melted/broke off!!

So now i need a better quality H11 6k bulb. This is what happens when u buy crappy cheap stuff from O/S.

The ballast and wiring looks good quality and didnt even heated up but the bulb was a POS.

Ive msg the dude who ive bought this kit resolve or send the replacement bulb or refund a portion of my $$ so i can buy a better quality H11 hid bulb.

Anyone got links of quality H11 35w 6k bulb only??

Thanks dude,

They are pricey as per description theyre D2 design rather than your str8 H11.

Dam but they look good.

Ive emailed Philips HID and see what the prices are for just the H11 bulbs..

Will have a look tonight, but I'm a bit hesitent to try and unplug them given that they have been working good all this while and never needed to touch them at all.
