Lightbulb Type I or Type II Ballasts for HID4Less kit?

This hasn't really been addressed on the group buy thread.

I am assuming that I wouldn't need the extra flexibility of the Type II ballast, but I ordered them anyway, just in case. What has everyone been ordering?

TIA!

hiya

well, things are moving along... for those that don't know, type 1 vs type 2 ballasts look like these respectively:





but, renncpe mounted the ballasts right on the wheelwells and i checked - plenty of clear space for the ballasts. so i don't think type 2 is necessary. i think type 2 is for really convoluted/tight spaces that some cars may have. of course, you are free to get whichever kit you'd like to.

shipping is $19.99.

as for late-comers, i can only say 2 things:

1. if you are absolutely certain that you are going to order, i will call and see if i can add your name to the list. but, i can't guarantee that you'll be able to get in. (but, really, i don't see why not). i just want to make sure that you are serious about getting it before i call them.

2. of course, i know that as new buyers find this board, i'm sure there will be at least 10 more people who will be in on a group buy later! so even if you can't decide by this friday, you can always set up another group buy.
