Fitted the CBI's along with LED sidelights & new main beam bulbs today. Just been out for a trial with them and enjoyed a much brighter lighting set up.
Looking at these but out of stock!! Any good alternative from HID4U or is it a case of being patient? Also daft question but is that price for one or (keeping fingers crossed) a pair? On dip my xenons are pretty weak.

Will keep schtum. Are the Osram ones worth double the price tag of the 5000k Korean ones http://www.hids4u.co.uk/D2S-Upgrade-Bulbs-...5000k.html ? Just anticipating the sucking of air through teeth from SWMBO when she hears the price.
PS And how easy is it to replace the bulb on a xenon unit, bearing in mind on the techie scale of 1 - 10 I'm probably a 2.75?

They are good, Ian says yes but I cannot comment as I have not compared.
I find the scattered light for cats eyes and signs is a lot whiter, brighter and better
TBH I got mine cheap, I was wavering as that's a lot to pay, and may have gone cheaper if I had not landed a cheap set of CBI'sAltox GSM FBH controller thread

Happy new year all
The Korean bulbs are very good and I tested them
Side by side with all other bulbs.
There is a few percent less output only and not quite as good spread at
The edge of the beam pattern.
The CBI are better than the more
Expensive Philips I have been driving with one of each
On my wife's car for over a year to test.
They should be back in stock in next few
Days. Don't go to Tesco please. It's unreal what these guys will sell
The price is 119.99 for a pair before 15% discount
Easy to change. Headlamp comes out, twist
big metal connector off then spring retains bulb in.
Just be gentle when refitting connector. Don't force it as you can
