Does anyone have a link to a seller that does decent (& cheap) HID kits? I bought a kit for my last E30 about 18 months ago pretty cheap (less than £40 if i remember rightly) but can't remember the seller.

Have done a search of threads on here but all the links seem to be to expired Ebay pages.

I'm after a set for an E36...

TIA

Does anyone happen to know what bulb sizes are used in E36s? I know E30s use H1, are they the same?

I've just bought a set for the e39 and I'm not that impressed. The bulb holders they supplied are the wrong ones and it's not all as plug and play as it seems. I'm fitting them properly next week with photos on my daily thread in otehr BMW chat.

Seller was hids-direct

Cheers Harry; it's a Coupe so H1 it is then!

I bought mine from here > http://stores.shop.ebay.ie/MC-Motoring__W0QQ_armrsZ1
They were a good price I would say they would probably be less than £40.
