Me and swift007 were at Stanford hall I saw you had the passenger side one out. I've just purchased the Hawk Set on swifts recommendation. 6000k. They looked brilliant in his.

Robw there are so many out there I had these recommend by my mate so went with that as I know I wouldn't end up paying through the nose or getting poor quality ones Matthew1990 got the same ones today yet to fit.but they are just simple plug and play you want the screen shot of item number on ebay buddy?let me know

Bugger it here you go

I really want these aswell, standard set up is very poor IMO. Do these ones not require modifying the boot cover or any wiring?

Do you mean how to hook them up?

Yea, other ones I've seen require quite a bit of wiring etc

These are fiddly, but no wiring is needed other than what's supplied, and it's all plug and play,

Dude you have two cables in your light fitting one to the bulb in there now and another one you put them into the ends of the hid kit and that's it plug and play

If you want you can ring me when/if you get them and talk you through it

 

[Rigby]

I'll get them ordered in a week or two. Thanks man, I'll have a go myself and if not then I'll give you a call haha

No worries just don't blow the doors off lol

I tend to steer clear of "eBay" HID's because I have questions in regards to build quality etc..

I did originally find these on eBay, but then I quickly found they had a full and proper website.

http://www.alltronix.co.uk/

I just felt a lot more comfortable going with a proper online company rather than a faceless eBay shop. The HID kit itself came in an Alltronix box with Alltronix branded ballasts - just like this;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H1-CANBUS...Car+Make:Fiat|Model:Bravo&hash=item35c71ce339

Like I said, purchasing from this company, although more expensive - felt more reassuring rather than "Bobs_Auto_Sales" on eBay selling a cheap chinese HID kit for £20 with poor build quality and zero branding.

They have not let me down and I think I went for either 4300k or 5000k which is a lot more natural than the 6000k which I find is too "blue"

By no means am I saying all eBay kits are sh*t, but you get what I mean

Hope this helps...

Everyone has an opinion which is cool.for me I brought these as they are made in the UK sold in a shop from London and have a 2 year Warrenty, I chose this hid kit because having a white bravo wanted a white light for which these do the business. Each to their own what ever works for you,

 

[Rigby]

Hawk are a proper company, they do alot of after market alarms/immobilizers. But yes you do get what you pay for with everything though but as these ones work well with other people then they cant be all bad.

 

[RobBravo]

My above post was absolutely no dig at your HID kit btw

I was just explaining my decision

 

[Matthewr1990]

I was going to say I bought my hid kit from hawk alarms website rather than eBay. When it was delivered it's the exact same hid kit swift got off eBay.

cheers all

No they won't as dipped and main beam systems are not monitored by the system
