It's OK, it's only 12V (until you switch them on)...... :whistle:

An umbrella might not be a good idea though.....likely to be a bit of lightning and hail about.. :dizzy:

...and I thought I was the only one who would require a fair weather forecast with no wind for 5 straight days before the screwdrivers came out :D

This can be done ina kitchen/lounge/telephone box save for find ing someone to attach the ballast on the wing and plugging the bulb in the headlight :D

I've got to get some trims/grills for the wife's x5 (did I tell you we have two now :oops: ) and that at worst means bumper off.....

Questions needing answering :D

Is 50 watt noticeably different to 35 watt
Will the headlights melt
Is the parrot dead or just resting.

There fitted on schedule, rain stayed away just long enough. Straight forward job. As to improvement hard to tell till evening, although I am pretty sure they have supplied me 6000k bulbs and not 5000k

Before (MTEC Superwhites)

After:

Fitting:

Here Sanj's OEM Xenons:

OEM is suppose to be 4300 mine are suppose to be 5000 but I am sure there 6000k just as the box says they are, have emailed hids-direct, lets see what they say.

Will try them out this eve and if pictures are visible will take a few. But it visible even in pics that they are better then what I had.

Nothing has exploded thus far or melted but early days.
