    Ignore the pics on diane-shop Benn, they don't even show H4 bulbs on the H4 kits. I'm debating a H7 Kit for the mondeo, and I'd be happy to buy from them again.

    Yeah, thats why I took those pics and have kept with the HIDs on the Celica, as the beam pattern is pretty much the same as the standard halogens (note the high beam doesn't look as strong though...). I'd be interested to see similar pics when they're fitted to a nova.

    I considered HIDs on the nova, but the cibie lamps are absolutely awful, even with halogens the light pattern is horrendous. I've got some BMW E30 lamps to go in though, so hopefully they will be better...

    Thats the other thing, diane-shop ones don't come with a battery harness. I wasn't too bothered on the Celica as the wiring loom is pretty meaty anyway. In fact, that may explain why my dipped beam (with harness) turn on and warm up faster, and are "brighter" than my main beams (without harness)...

    The seperate battery power feed? Hmm, interesting. Might try another of their kits in the future then.

    how about this item. been looking at HID kits for my Nova, although I have no complaints about the standard headlamps as they work really well.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H4-6000K-Genui...1%7C240%3A1318

    Good price but postage is a bit of a wallet bashing fest.

    Not a expert on HID but the box seems to have everything from what I can see
