What does everyone have or recommend?
There seem to be about 1 Billion kits on eBay, i have no idea what to go with.
Spec I want is 4500-5500k Slim ballasts and my bulbs are originally H1.
The rest i have no clue about.
Looking for suggestions and advice.

I'll try and find the link mate. Tbh its a bit of hit and miss when it comes to the cheaper kits. I bought my last cheap set off Diane-shop and was totally ripped off.
Most of the uk dealers all want more ££££ but the fact that you can send them back without waiting weeks for a new set is a big plus point.

Just remember you will have to remove them to pass an MOT now as they will fail

According to the manual, you only need to test the levelers/washers IF they are present. If they arent there you cant test them so not a fail. Beam pattern with be same as im using shrouds so they wont blind anyone.
If worst comes to worse ill lash in the old units for the mot
