If you want quality light, don't bother with the 8000k, 6000k is a good all rounder, and 4100 is even better, basically, the lower the number, the brighter the light, the higher the number, the more blue/purple the light gets.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the cheap stuff, Ben from Chromeline design sells some good kits, and lifetime guarantee on all parts too.

Didn't someone just get some cheap (genuine?) Bosch ones of US ebay?
I usually trust anything with Bosch written on it. E.g. All my power tools.

brian, we use bosch stuff in work and it's not bad but quite a bit gets broken.

I'm looking into the HID kits atm
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!
