Due to quite a demand nearing christmas we only have one or two H7 and H4 HID kits left. We are looking at a new supplier so that we can sell HID kits that don't activate the cars OBC to say there is a bulb issue like the situation MS had. We will be getting H7 and H4 kits in 4300k, 6000k and 8000k. We will also be getting spare bulbs in 4300k, 6000k and 8000k. We are expecting the new stock around the middle of January.

Hi Matt, i received the controllers today - thanks for sending out so promptly,. Unfortunately they still did not do the trick - made no difference whatsoever.If it helps, i think it might be something to do with the fact that you only connect to the wiring harness of one of the headlamps. The other side isn't connected and i think this might be what's causing the issues as there's less (or no) resistance on that side - hence the car thinking the bulb(s) are fused??? Do you have anything else i could try? Is there any reason why each box doesn't connect to the wiring harness on each side. |

Sorry to hear that Manny, I can understand how they would not work due to being on only one side. I think they are only on one side due to the relay/connector thats in the wiring loom.I'll PM you some ideas. ________________________________________ 306 GTI-6205 GTI-6 Project 205 1.6 GTI - RIP 205 1.9 TT - RIP E39 535i - Daily driver *Newest edition* E60 M5 5l v10 - The weekend car |

Many thanks, Matt I am still offering the 20% off but due to a high demand I have completely sold out of the H7 and H4 kits  .I will be getting more stock around the middle of January that will include the H7 and H4 kits with more colour temperatures to choose from.

If it's seeing a resistance accross the bulbs Manny, try measuring the resistance across a bulb, then get a resister of the same value. Just thinking out loud but may be the solution________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

It just puzzles me that it's ok on full beam but then starts complaining on dipped beam. I don't want to go playing with electronics for fear of causing more damage. I'd rather just have an off-the-shelf plug & play fix. |

It must be seeing resistance if the above is the case Manny. High beam will use a higher Wattage, and therefore higher resistance bulb. As said it'll be just a case of measuring the resistance across the dipped beam part of the bulb and then getting a resistor of the same value. Saying that it's probably best to ignore it  Edit: Do HID kits generally pull less current than a standard bulb? ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Just received one of these kits.Can anyone who has fitted one shed any light (excuse the pun  ) on fitment? As the instructions are not clear at all.So far I have: On the Ballast, the- red plug goes into HID decoder-which then plugs into the large black connector coming from the bulb. Assume this is correct as the type of plug doesn't fit into anything else. Also on the ballast, black lead with the 23000v box on it connects to the other 2 leads coming from the bulb. red to red and blue to black? Then I am left with the red and black power connectors next to where the bulb is, which when fitted into the headlight assembly, are inside the headlight along with the bulb. Which I presume are somehow connected to power it. Where do I connect these to?  Also any tips for securing the ballast, 23000v box and HID decoder box? In the box were some screws and two plates for the ballast. Is it just a case of secure them anywhere where there is room? Once all the above is done, anything else I have missed? Any help appreciated. Picture of what I have done so far:  ________________________________________ Sold my GTI-6 now riding in a Scooby--------------------------------- James |

Colour wise - i have 6000K bulbs though if i were to order again i'd probably go with 4300K. 6000K are just a little too blue for my liking comparing them to my proper xenons in the M3. Having said that, my Audi (the car with the HID kit) has the old-fashioned misty type headlights as opposed to crystals so i guess that doesn't help either. I could do a photo for you if you like...will try and sort it for you in the next few days. |

James sorry but your kit looks slightly different to mine. Once you've laid it all out on the floor though it's quite simple to work out. All the plugs are different and they only go in, in a certain way - so you can't really plug the wrong thing into the wrong thing.As for the ballasts themselves, one is powered directly from the battery and then the 2nd ballast takes it's power from the 1st ballast. You plug the headlight wiring loom into the first ballast too. On the other side, the headlight wiring loom is not plugged into anything. Basically you just have a master/slave setup where ballast A controls everything. I'm probably just making it sound more complicated than it is, but like i said, lay it all on the floor and it's very simple to work out. If you still get stuck, let me know and i'll PM you my mobile no. I've just returned my 2nd kit back to Matt - if i still had it i would have wired it up for you and showed you exactly what goes where. I know what you mean though - it can be daunting at first - the instructions could do with improvements. I did relay this back to Matt too. |

each ballast connects to headlight independantly.. and you dont need the decoder box for the 6. black and white blade terminals go to pos negative on oe connector where the oe bulb would've gone.have a look at the website.. vid on a 306 simples p.s manny yours is a diff kit so stop confusing him.. ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Cheers guys.Manny I think yours is different as my ballasts don't connect to each other they are just connected independantly. I have put it all in now and it seems to be working fine. It made a lot more sense once I started taking out the current bulbs etc Just tried to secure the ballasts to anywhere where there is room with cable ties. You say I don't need the decoder box mab? As I have connected that up at the moment. It doesn't do anything then? Shall I take it off?  ________________________________________ Sold my GTI-6 now riding in a Scooby--------------------------------- James |
