Got round to fitting a few New things today and thought i would do a write up of Joshs HID Kit as well.

I got a code from my Renault Dealer today so that saves me having to get a new head unit.

Forge Motorsport Stubby Aerial, that actually works, can receive Radio signal everywhere i go, thanks for that Josh. Has been on for a while but 1st chance ive had to get some pics of it

Silver indicators, the orange has gone, they look so much better than the standard ones!

Finally The HID Kit,

was soooo easy to fit, even i managed it on my own and I'm completely useless with anything like that!! Fits together really easy and everything is clearly marked and labeled. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. the ballasts went in the battery box and used a Velcro pad to hold the relay in place in the battery box as well.

The second ballast i originally put in the hole next to the manifold mounting but it rattled around a lot so I used the bracket that came with them and fitted it over the hole instead. Took literally 45 mins and i thought i would of been at it for hours.

Took the car out for a blast tonight down some dark country lanes and the difference is unreal, the beam doesn't scatter and they actually look level.

All in all, a good product Josh, thanks a lot for them

Here are the Pics, theres also a pic of the crack in my wind screen to show u why mods will be on hold this month :(

Ahhh no that's great :D At least there's not cutting I was worried about that.

Thank you
 
the cable for the HIDs goes out the gap at the bottom, no cutting involved at all
 
cars looking good mate. :cool:
iv gotta order some hids from josh and now i know theres loads of cable :mrgreen: are the hids u hav 6 or 8k??

could u not get the screen done on ur insurance to save some pennies?? ;)
 
they are 6k. stayed away from 8. i would recommend them to anyone

the windscreen is being done under insurance, still £70 excess though, i want the front doing black and the RS Diffuser but will have to wait now

good to have u back anyway Turbo
 
yea 6k look good, thats what il b ordering.

£70 excess isnt too bad!!u should ask karl to get u a price on a new screen!!!!!!

cheers mate good to b back (altho its cold here)!!!!!!!!!
 
just want to say a massive thanks dave,
1. for the review
2. for the support you have given HP,

glad you like them mate and anything else mate let me know :)
 
no worries mate, thanks for the stuff for my car, sure there will be other things i want but will have to wait now, lol
 
See how many flashes you get from other road users Dave! They don't like the HIDs! I've found that changing the light angle height to the lowest setting using the wheel thingy to the right of the steering wheel has helped.
I have also used my HIDs to good effect whenever I see Audi/BMW drivers - they really do my head in!

I would also like to add many thanks to Josh for fitting mine at the last meet - there's not really much I can add to review them other than what has aready been said, other than I love them for the reasons above.
 
so far so good, no ones flashed me yet but they were only fitted friday, even the local police havent bothered me so far and they love pulling me over, im sure it will change though
