Build quality mainly...

Sometimes they flicker, sometimes they don't...


Both the metal rail things on the HID bulbs were broken when I opened them but the bulbs still work and I still cannot seem to figure out how to adjust the beams... I have twisted the metal adjustments on the back of the light housing and it does nothing haha >.<



They definitely do put more light out and are a lot whiter than incandescent bulbs though.

Well my review of the eBay kit is negative.

Light output is good, but the supposed H1 bulbs are loose even with buffers, the wiring is pretty shotty, they flicker sometimes when idling and they interfere with my radio...
Even after using some aluminum tape and ferrite cores to try and cut back on interference, they still do
To top it off, the ferrite? covered wire running from the top of the bulb to the bottom, the ferrite (I think) shielding was damaged before it even went into the car.
I am currently in negotiations with the eBay seller, going through the standard *clean the contacts*, check all wiring etc etc...


I have also put an order in for a new kit, this is a local company based in Perth, Australia. They have good reviews and I specifically paid the extra for the Phillips branded bulbs. This kit also has a 3 year warranty with it. oping that this solves most of my issues.



So, 'Sun Woif' brand is a brand to stay away from.
