iv bought from this seller, i recommend them. delivery was about 1 week and didnt have to pay any import charges. kit workes well and seems all good. All you need to do is remove the red rubber ring round the bulb and file down the fins a little bit (literally 10min job) and then you are good to go! I got the 6000k kit, gives a nice white light
EDIT: you need the 9005 kit

do you get the main and full beam with that kit mate as it doesnt really say?
or would that be one of the hi-low duel beams

Did the lugs on the bulb holder not need modified mate?
i found ones that needed modified to be quite poor...

The main beam and high beams are separate on the quad light so you would need to order two kits. no need to by a "high-low" kit

do you mean the bit which connects to where the standard bulbs are pluged into? if so, my kit did not have any, you could connect it either way round. il show you a pic if you dont know what i mean.
9005 wouldnt fit properly

just to add, here is what you need to do to make a 9005 kit fit ...
1) remove any plastic lug things inside this bit. if there is only 1 like on the oem bulb then thats fine. alternatively, buy from the ebay seller i mentioned above any then your kit should come smooth like this...
2) File down the fins on the HID bulb to match the ones on the oem bulb. not much needs to be taken off if you match the fins up properly (the longest gap shows which is which)
3) remove the rubber seal which is around the base of the bulb (the red thing)
all this takes about 10 mins if you know what you are doing and you should be then good to fit them.
if you fit them and then find they do not turn on, dont get angry, all you need to do is change the spade terminals shown in step 1 round. again, if you buy from the seller i recommended, this isnt a problem as you can connect it the same either way round
hope this helps

edit: just thought i would add, it is definatly NOT 9006/HB4 bulbs you need (the pic above shows a HB4/9006 bulb). 9005 and 9006 are very similar but 9006 has a wider base so will not fit

no problem, i wish id had that when i tried to fit them, spent a lot of time pissed off thinking it wasnt possible
mounting the ballasts is a bit of a struggle. mine look messy and are ust held in with cable ties but they wont move so all is good. slim ballasts may be worth while but they cost more

so 2 9005, not a 9005 and 9006
