i got mine off ebay i got the 55w kit which are much better than the 35w versions most places sell, came with the slim ballasts too! i paid £40 delivered from some place on ebay they have a 2 year warranty and any questions i have asked the company was quick to answer, they camer from america and took 2 days!

http://cgi.ebay.com/55W-HID-Conversion-Kit-Xenon-9005-9006-H11-H3-H1-H4-H7_W0QQitemZ250503045727QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a5325225f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

thats the ones i got and they are made in germany not china like most of them are.

and i dont believe the whole you get what you pay for thing as im 99% sure pretty much every hid kit is the same internals just packaged different, friend of mine has some hid\'s on his bmw that he paid £250 for we opened up the ballasts and his are exactly the same as mine and even the bulbs are the same make!

I bought some a while back from \'diane shop\' or something like that, they had on offer 55w ones and it was very very good, only cost about £50 all in :)

Here is the ebay store:

tommy i knew what bulbs i wanted, are you running stock lights?? if so you need H4-bi kit which will have a special bulb that works low beam on hid and when you switch to high they will shift to work... i went for 8k bulbs as that is a bluey light, just mail them tell them you need h4-bi kit in 55w with the bulb temp you choose :)
