Got my Osram HIDs from www.hids4u.co.uk

Osram D2S 4300K

Awful name for a company but they were quick & cheap and the bulbs appear to be genuine. I was initially dubious of the packaging (white box + bubble wrap) but the markings on the lamp appear genuine and the one I have fitted has worked perfectly for two years.

I assume they buy bulk to get the right price hence the plain packaging.

Sorry to butt in on this but a quick question about hid lights. I have a recently brought a fl and took off my pfl hid complete units. Now I know the complete units are slightly different in shape, would it be possible to fit the ballast and such to the fl lights?

Cheers Ian

Projector lights are a totally different animal to HID`s and won`t have the facility to carry the ballast pack, plus the lens needs to be "HID approved" in other words, marked with D2S. If you really want HID`s just retrofit with F/L units
