because ebay kits don't usually last long :p
Even Nick's $150 kit has some issues which I don't think make it worth that much...

I got my 55w kit from eBay for $35. I'm using it for fog lights though. But so far, no issues.

New bar painted and fitted, and a full paintwork restoration and detail done :D

Love the look of it now so much more! Super happy with the colour match and alignment!

Had it all done by a mate's Dad so I got it heaps cheap too!

A couple of crappy iPhone pics: (Will take more on a proper camera when I've got decent light)

Looking at the last picture makes me think i might get some spacers on the rear so it sits a bit more flush with the guards

    Yeah I was a little nervous how it was going to turn out, but I honestly can't fault it from any angle! The guy i used definitely knows what he's doing

      Well he said he heard me floor it, so pulled me over for an RBT and then told me exhaust was more than definitely too loud and that height and a few other little things were questionable but he couldn't really be fussed to write anything up :lol:

      So it seems if you pass the attitude test they're pretty lenient :D

        Yeah, that wouldn't help...
        Wasn't the same guy, but I'm probably known about through out the police station as the guy who crashed into a cop car.... :lol:

        New HID's finally in! Big thanks to Vectose for the help! :salut:
        Also, replaced the parkers with LED's to match and discovered the high beam problem was just the fuses :D

        Also I feel as though they are shooting a little low, how would I go about adjusting them?

        Still unsure as to why the old ballasts may have given out... hmmmm
