You said you don't do postal insurance - could you do it for an additional charge. I agree with the comment about Royal Mail. I wouldn't want it to go 'missing' in the post after going through this much pain trying to get a good set of LEDs.

On a side note, what do you recommend running on the fogs (without going for a HID conversion) to match the LEDs and stock Xenons? I want to get them ordered in before I get the car as well...
I sent out a mail to gorup buy people:
tracking: +€5
insurance(automatically +tracking): +€10

The lights? I don't know if you buy I think 5000K will match them but if you buy 5000K from 2 different manufacturers they will give 2 different colours

Did you send the email to me as well? I didn't get anything...

I'll insure and track mine if possible. =)

I just want something in my fogs that gives a clean white colour like the LEDs should and the Bi-Xenons do. I'm not really that fussy about complete colour matching as long as the output is clean. I've been recommended Philips Diamond Vision to get the outout below (for the fogs and eyelids - although the eyelids have now been taken care of thanks to you).


[Picture from another user on another forum.]

I think that looks pretty good seeing as though I'm never going to get a perfect match.

I have M-Tech H.I.D.-look halogens for my H7 fogs. They look nice but maybe a bit too much like BlueVisions instead of those Diamond Visions. They look really nice!


First PM asking about delivery after 9 days... I'll be closing my PM box if it happens again lol. Just read the thread PLEASE?

Diamond Visions don't require any mods, right? If so, that might be the ticket after my LED problem is solved!

This might sounds like a dumb questions... but why would you need more than one pair if these lights are for the eyelids? I'm guessing that these lights can replace something else in the car other than eyelids?

Each eyelid has two bulbs so you need at least two sets of bulbs, and most people buy one for spare or to replace the rear licence plate lights. All other interior lights on the car are also of this bulb type except one so the bulbs can be used in many other places.
