I ordered 2 sets and I just received them 
...they have a hologram on them and appear to be genuine Bosch HID kits 
....the part number I have on the ballasts is LVQ 212-L300 and 9287 006 17100 underneath that.....I have had other HID kits fitted on other cars in the past, but these defenitely look like higher quality items and they also come with an extra relay to prevent your electrics from frying up if the HIDs overload somehow(which is unlikely but if it's included then why say no )...the wiring is also of high quality and is heavy duty like the add stated....so overall, I'm over the moon with my purchase.....he has now got some kits back up for sale on ebay.com and ebay.de....delivery was quick as well and no duty to pay either ...now to fit them and make sure they work

Pics as promised 
As you can see the cables are all nice and thick, they also come with plastice cable protectors and the bulbs come with proper connectors + rubber washers to keep them water tight All in all...it looks like a good bit of kit to me and well worth the money....in the last pic you can also see the relay you get with the wiring for extra security/peice of mind ....now I've just got to fit em and hope they work as good as they look

I finally managed to find the time + weather to fit the HIDs in ...to start of with, they have supplied extra connectors which are not needed but can confuse you a bit.....the other problem I found was that the xenon bulbs that were supplied have a thick rubber base to them to allow you to handle them easily....this was good to start of with, but then I found I had to widen the holder clip a bit to close it....then I made a hole to let the wires through the dust cap,only then to find that the bulb's base was not only thicker but also longer then the standard bulbs...so I had to allow the base of the bulbs to stick out of the hole ever so slightly before sealing it up with silicone....the wiring was spot on perfect and of high quality....the end result was amazing and I am very please with the choice of 6000k as I get miles better vision in the dark and they have a light blue tinge to them....kind of a diamond white colour.....I took some pics...but I forgot to take any before and during pics as I was fighting against time to get it done during daylight hours after getting back from work 
but you all know what your standard lights look like and you can compare them to what my lights now look like...I tried to get some shots of the lights head on...but my camera + skills are sh*t and thus the pics ain't the best ...hope you enjoy and my verdict on the kit is...they are seriously good value for money at £73.84 + postage
