I can probably get it cheaper for you? I'm a signwriter and i order all sorts of vinyl every day. Would be able to get 3M or there is another brand I can get and its about $50-60 per metre but is 1220mm wide.

well got my car back from panel beaters, roof painted, rear right fixed (crushed in by brick pillar, imagine tip of the lights to rear of the wheel arch being square rather then curved.) and the beaver panel painted for $450. i am extremely happy right now. my baby's back looking better then ever.

Oh dont say that!

lol all good mate, only needed what I bought (30x60cm), but will keep you in mind for if I need more!

DavoAust · 01-03-2010, 07:18 PM

new KU31's went on today. Massive thanks to option1garage's guys who drove over to the suppliers (45min away) to get them after they didn't arrive with the others (kumho truck was in a crash friday, so had to wait till today).

first impression is they're much quieter and stable than the direzza's. i'll run them in for a couple of weeks then take them to nebo/mt mee

Mad Mat · 01-03-2010, 07:37 PM

i reajusted the clutch today so i should get a couple more months out of it

yer went with the 6000k.

was thinkin of going for the 8000k ones but didnt end up.
they were off ebay for 122 delivered. From melbourne.

Clean_Cookie · 02-03-2010, 05:54 PM

WOW theyve gone down in price... i paid $250 for 55W ones with a 2 year warranty from bright light autos... but the CS from the guy was amazing, even at like 11pm asking dumb questions about which ones would fit and him finding his manuals and looking for me

oh and they are still working haha...

good luck with them and if they are no good (read: too good :P) in low beam put them in high beams... very handy if you do any country driving

Brisbane_boy · 02-03-2010, 06:02 PM

i only got the 35w ones. my bulbs are hi and lo in the same bulb.

the 55w ones were 170 delivered.

is the 35w ones still stronger?

Clean_Cookie · 02-03-2010, 06:18 PM

55w are more powerful than 35w... but both are way brighter than stock due to higher eficciency of the bulb... uses a high voltage (23kv to start!!)

D Valerius · 02-03-2010, 06:38 PM

In happy as long as i can get a true white light, my blue visions are not cutting it.

marcs_sp20 · 02-03-2010, 06:51 PM

4300K 35w HID's is all you need, very bright white, nuff said

Clean_Cookie · 02-03-2010, 07:01 PM

as above... i got 6000k and they are definately blue...

D Valerius · 02-03-2010, 07:04 PM
