They come highly recommended by a lot of people on SCN that has used them andas you can see there at a bargin price.
I bought the 6000k ones that give off a very bright white light. I had the 8K ones on my old 106gti and they were very blue but still gave off superb light

Bosch dont actually make the kits, they are fake.
We are a bosch dealer and we had a news letter informing us that no branch of bosch manufacture or sell aftermarket HID kits, especially not the cheap tosh that is sold on Ebay, these are made by a company in the far east called Boschi.

and the ballast resistor boxes arent water tight either, which isnt helpful being under the bonnet of a car, i had one 'bosch' kit, was good, the fitment of the H4 bulbs was terrible and we needed to modify the wiring as it wasnt right.
Spend the money on a decent kit i say
