ktl Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 No you don't have to buy a slimline ballast. Any hid that you go for all come from china. I buy all my hids from hongkong via ebay and pay no more then 50pounds. For the quadlight you need 9005 bulb but not to sure on the square lamps. But I suggest you don't fit them in square lamps as the light will be scattered all over the place and blind people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 i had the Phillips bulbs in my car, they pretty good. more of a whiter light instead of that nasty yellow.but they only lasted 1 year. dont know if that is good, could of been unlucky of something.I if it last 1 year I think that's shit because i still have the original bulbs from factory in mine and they are 11 years old.lol.
