Paul,
Why didn't you get the ballasts when you got the bulbs?
Why would you buy a pair? There's one H1 bulb and one H4 that we need.the H4 bulb needs more than a ballast for it to work due to the dual element, it also needs a separate box that then goes to a power source. You may find that some of these set ups are rubbish due to the two elements, HID's don't take too well to having dual elements.

Think i'm going to go with the retrolabs kit, pricy but they seem top notch and come with everything you need.

I really don't think you'll need the main beam once you get your HID fitted :) you'll just need it for MOT purpose :b

It doesn't make any difference as to what others have, cheap lights, expensive lights etc, as long as it gives you the light your looking for and your happy with it, I'd say go for it :)
Just remember and post a thread up with your pics etc to let us all know how it's going :)

It'll give you by far the best results - you get proper HID projectors so get a strong clear light, not really bright but patchy as with normal HID kits (the fazers headlight isn't designed for them and doesn't perform particularly well tbh - its just a lot brighter!)

This looks really effective actually, I shall investigate, Is it easy to wire too the main beam?

first few days for testing i was pikey and pushed the wires into the main beam bulb holder/plug. you can just solder the wires to the plug itself or strip a little plastic coating off the main beam wires and solder them.
