HIDS4U every time for me
Hi Ian,
I will be ordering through your company when back in stock, not Tesco, be assured.
The support and advice I have received by you and your team is always outstanding. I would even pay more on an item for good service, but with your discount offers for the forum, its a no-brainier anyway!
I am delighted with all my purchases and would like to wish you and your team a very Happy New Year from a very satisfied customer.2 x D3's (Twins)

Re: Anyone upgraded their HID (Xenon) bulbs

I have adaptive units, so I cannot easily upgrade too the 55W extreme units Ian has, so have to stick with 35W options.
Is this the high beam bulb? Have put the Philips Extreme +100% in the BM and makes a big difference on dip so thinking of same in high beem in the xenons (non adaptive).

Prob going to order the Korean ones as lots of sucking air in through teeth at the Osram price, especially post Chrimbo. Korean price put a smile on her face, almost.

Hi DSL
The Korean ones are good and you will see a big improvement
The xenon works on both dip and main with the aid of a shutter that lifts up on main to give more light

Now why the hell would we want to line the pockets of an already over priced supermarket chain? I'm sure their profits can suffer the loss of us going to Ian for our bulbs. Although when I saw the price of xenon bulbs I thought I was actually buying the whole headlight! You guys are gonna be busier than a test bench in a plunger factory!

And I am dead sure that Tesco will not give you free sweets with every order. Thanks Ian, 501's turned up today and the difference between the led side light and the 'normal' sidelight bulb is remarkable! The LED sidelight is actually white whereas the 'normal' bulb is yellow. And I can now actually see what is in the boot having changed that bulb for LED's too. You guys are gonna be busier than a test bench in a plunger factory!

Well impressed with these Cool Blue Intense headlight bulbs from Ian. Dipped beam noticeably better but I wouldn't say it's vast, just worthwhile and a cleaner whiter light. The improvement on full/high beam is "wow". Incredible lighting power.

Just ordered a set of the Korean ones http://www.hids4u.co.uk/D2S-Upgrade-Bulbs-...teid=73669 , on a short budget as have a wife, 2 dogs & 4 cars to support. Will get them in as soon as they get here as it feels lie I need a white cane with the dipped beam.

Upgraded mine this week
I followed Ian at Hids advice and ordered the Osram Cool Blue Intense.
Great improvement on dip and main beam. I was worried they would be blue but they are crisp white.
My dip had really deteriorated and I was struggling in dark, wet conditions, but no longer a problem. Job done!2 x D3's (Twins)
