Cheap does not mean good :4:

My previous HID from benjichris88 only used for 12 months then gone.

Want to join me to order from US? We share the freight cost. :4:

Hehe...yah i thought its very expensive to install one, didn't know it can be so cheap. How much would it be to order in bulk? I don't mind if we can share the freight cost...

I was quoted about USD100 for the so call 'lifetime' warranty 55W HID slim ballast kit, 35W is USD10 cheaper.

Lifetime just for sweet, as we need to send back to US to claim the warranty if really kaput one day.

Again a step by step of my Left Headlight

1. remove headlights - 4 no. 8mm bolts located next to radiator and below balast
2. Low beam Broken adjuster and where the ball sits - Remove this item the ball holder in tis picture using the * screw driver and the longer piece using a no. 10mm box socket turning the manual adjustment nut black in color turning it anti clockwise until it is released remmember the position of the adjuster refer to earlier pics.
3. Hibeam adjusters are not visible. removing same proceduer as the first.

I think i know how to change the adjusters without open the headlights, i will try again see i can do it or not. But now i need to find a very long and thin screw driver to open the small screw at the ball holder.

Finally i able to change the adjusters on my own.

For changing both adjusters is not hard.

1.You need to remove the angel eye fibre optic transporter in order to remove the high beam adjuster ball holder.
2.Remove left right beam ball holder
3.with a very tight space put in both adjusters into it's position.
4.Put back ball holders and lock the ball holders to adjusters then your job is done.

Once you have locked the ball holder to adjuster , you will never able to take out again without open the headlight.
