Hi guys,

Just fitted my new HID kit. They are made by Maruta and have the 6000K (Diamond White) bulbs, which I've fitted with white LED parking lights.

They are Japanese made, and the fit on them a spot on, no mucking around with the headlights and fits like a glove. It includes all the brackets and everything needed, all up it took me about 1.5hrs fitting them at about 10.30pm last night in a shopping mall car park heheheh.

Here's a few pics I took... I'll upload the others after work.

* Note, in the photos I have bumped up the brightness and contrast slightly so you can actually see the car, I'll take some photos at sunset so you can see them better.

Alan, did it in the shopping mall car park :-) Lots of mucking around (had a mate there with me) and basically I was just trying to find a good place to mount the ballasts. Smoke breaks were plenty and long too.

Brenton, I got them through a different group buy so the price was cheaper than usual.

Heh Avin yeah you're right mate, I'm not really planning to do much to it, but if I decide to make a BFI I can change the mounting position of the ballasts to the inner fenders or something similar so all is good... And thanks on the comments :-)

looks cool Jose :-)

you can mount the ballast in the gap in front of the radiator.might need to make a bracket or use the one that came with kit.

Interesting. I had some of the the radiator garnish off while I was installing it, I might have another look to see if I can mount them there as I originally wanted to put them onto one of the bolts that holds the headlights onto the chassis (2nd pic from the 2nd set of pictures, the bolt most left of the photo).

Le, the kits were sent out from Melbourne but I don't know if he's got any more stock. Email or PM me if you wanna find out more.

Jose, you might want to try and hide the ballasts a bit, they aren't street legal regardless of the colour.

Be careful dude.

Ok, well the group buy price was $445 but I got it down a bit more, I doubt he'll do it for as much as I got it down to though (just under $400 inc. freight).
