HID Kit Group buy,

Hi guy’s HIDS4U (part of Autobulbs Direct) are offering a great deal on HID kits. The more we get the bigger the discount. If we get 1-10 people we will offer a 15% discount. 11-20 we will offer 25% and 21 or over we will be offering a 35% discount off all HID kits.

We are will be running this until the end of this month so if interested we advise to get in quick. Please can I ask you to PM me if you are interested. I will keep you all updated via the thread and give you the discount codes once the end date has arrived via the PM system.

Any questions you may have please just ask

Dimplyred · 16th May 2008, 14:49

Can you give us some idea of the prices without discount.

Obviously the price will change depending on the numbers interested.

Autobulbs · 16th May 2008, 15:00

Prices range from £99.99 to £249.99 depending on the bulb type and the year of the car

angie4m · 16th May 2008, 17:16

Only adding to this so I can get updates

robbo51 · 16th May 2008, 17:18

As the 'Forum Rules' state you must post a price.
However, in this case a price for each band of discount will suffice

think most of us have been down this road though and stumbled on legal issues

Unknownsoldier · 16th May 2008, 17:56

I agree, without the auto leveller and washers, these HID kits I fear would be illegal to fit to our cars for road use, as they are of too late a manufacture (any car after 06 IIRC has to have washers and levellers, cars before that can get away with it).

ATB,
Tom

Aftermarket HID kits are not technically road legal as you are replacing a halogen bulb with a gas discharge bulb. This means the gas discharge bulb cannot be E marked and is therefore not road legal. Do not be fooled by sellers claiming their kits are road legal, they aren't. However our kits produce the correct beam pattern and colour so will pass an MOT.

But are they legal ?

No they are not road legal however will pass an MOT as they only check that the beam pattern is correct

NEEMSTAR · 17th May 2008, 14:41

if i buy them off you and i get pulled over what will happen ?

is the reason they are not legal, down to the fact that we don't have levellers or washers ?

Correct NS
They must have them to be legal

gjackson · 17th May 2008, 23:54

Yep if they are not self levelling then they could fail an MOT dependent on suspension and load.

They are not road legal for a reason, manufacturers have to fit levellers and washers for a reason.

What happens if involved in accident and another party claims they were dazzalled by your lights?

Autobulbs are in the clear because they have told you not use them on the road. You however could be facing all sorts of charges, especially if it could be proven you knowlingly had the bulbs fitted.

I might be going on a bit sorry. In this country these kits are sold as 'Off road use only' in the US it's illegal to even market them.

Fitting an aftermarket HID kit is not technically road legal as you are replacing a halogen bulb with an HID bulb, because of this the HID bulb cannot be E marked, which is a requirement for it to be road legal

In terms of being pulled over we have not had a case where this has happened in the 5 years we have been selling the kits. I would imagine you would just be asked to remove it and prove to them you have done so within a 7 day period.

Autobulbs · 27th May 2008, 11:35

Right guys and gals there is only a couple of days left on this group buy. If you are inerested please PM me asap

Autobulbs · 30th May 2008, 13:27

Right we have decided to run this group buy until the end of June now so please let me know if your interested and remember the more people the bigger the discount

illegalhunter · 1st June 2008, 03:07

How much for the whole kit for my FN2

angie4m · 1st June 2008, 12:11

Its either £99.99 for the Pro Plus 35W or you can get the Pro max 55W for £199.99. I am soooo tempted by the Pro Max, its meant to be better than the Pro Plus according to the write ups

gjackson · 2nd June 2008, 12:37

Considering the amount of effort put in ensuring individuals stick to the trading rules I'm suprised that something deemed as 'not for road use' but so blatently will be can be sold on this forum.

Air's a bit thin up here on the moral highground.
