Anyone know where you can get a 10k HID for An 850 T5?

All i can find is sites in the states.

This is the one I used: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=220486482784

I didn't actually like it as I felt it attracted too much attention to the car! However the kit itself was fine and easy to install.

Watch out for any sellers who charge huge postage from China and the like when buying on Ebay. The reason this is done is that if the item arrives broken or fails a short time afterwards you cannot claim back the postage fees (which of course are not the postage fees at all but the profit). The truth is that post from China is pretty cheap (not all Chinese sellers overcharge) and this is a way around (1) Ebay fees (2) Import duty (3) Making refunds. I have fallen foul of this one myself (not with this trader) and suggest that where possible it is avoided unless you have high confidence.

the cheaper selling price also puts it higher up the ebay list when searching. Even with the high postage it still worked out cheaper than any kit i've seen sold over here, it also hasn't thrown a bulb failure which alot of dearer kits i've read about do. Mine turned up very quickly & well packaged, if there was a problem & the seller wasn't prepared to help then i've of put in a complaint with Paypal & got my money back that way

10k lights will also be dimmer than 6k's, I have 8k's in my Cossie, and they are noticeable blue, while the 6k's in the T5 are more white with a blue tint.

You wouldn't believe how many hid kits i have bought, i have had nearly all the colours in a mk.1 shogun, people were flashing me because my lights were to bright, so i'd go up a stage till i got to 10000, 12000k, by that time the light was rubbish, to blue/purple and i couldn't see nothing, haha, but i wasn't blinding anyone at that stage, 6000k is cool, slight blue in a white light, your supposed to use reflector self levelling headlights, but if you don't blind no one then they are a nice feature when you switch them on, they like pulse when you switch them on, then get brighter, you won't get the cool colour change you see in the high end cars unless you have the projectors, good luck, eblag is where i get mine all the time, uk allso
