HIDs (fitted and pics)

[pritchp]

So back in august/september time i brought some HIDs for my car off of a user on another forum.

They arrived pretty quickly and i couldnt wait to get them fitted.
I drove down to my mate in Ipswich to fit them for me as i had no idea what i was doing.. got there.. started fitting.. tried them and one of the ballasts was knackered it just wouldnt work, we tried it on both sides, we tried it on his car. and nothing.. the ballast was dead..

so after the long drive back (around 70-100 miles) i got in touch with the seller, i then sent the ballast back and started the wait for the replacement. The issue still has not been sorted however we are slowly getting somewhere i hope...

Anyway, its now november, i got desperate to get them fitted so i wont onto ebay and brought a spare ballast which i would use until i got my original one replaced. i got in touch with my mate again to see if he was about to fit them and unfortauntly he was busy at the weekend,

I decided to man up and set about fitting them myself this morning, after a shaky start i managed to get it all wired in and working!! so pleased with myself! (pics below)

The hid kit cost me £77, the extra ballast i brought was about £30+ so you can imagine im fairly out of pocket due to the broken ballast.. but im hopeful that it all gets sorted soon and i will either get some money back or a spare ballast which i will replace with the other one on my car and then have a spare!
