Well, it's all passed the MoT without a problem..... no washers and odd lights??

Now I've got to source a new lambda sensor!

Any ideas?

I'm going to get a matched pair of bulbs so the information shown here is all good and look forward to seeing the factsheet.

Regards

Just a little update.....
....'cos I want to have a matched pair of lights I thought I'd ask the great and the good at Mazda for a price......


.... firstly I still shouldn't have HiDs on my Mazda Bongo... seems a lot of trouble for someone to retro fit a set but possible. .... then If I did have HiDs

...."we can get them sir, it would have to come from Japan and they are £230.99 each. Shall I order you a pair?".....
... let me go away and think about that.. I'll come back to you..........

Regards

No idea what the quality is like, but for £10.49 a pair (!), these look like a bargain, even if you just keep them as a spare set.

You shouldnt work on HID unless they have been off for 45 mins you get less jumps that way :oops:

From experience the ballest is probably faulty

Swap the lamps side to side and you will see befor getting a lamp.

Hi Simon,

Did you ever get the chance to rustle up a fact sheet?

Thanks
