OK, where in this pic do you see a BIG ORANGE goddamn plug? (This was My point exactly,doh)
I am not stupid, I know that the bulbs do need to be changed, and in order to do so they need to be a separate piece. (haven't you just contradicted your earlier post of "no need for stupid connectors" there?)
The pic you have is exactly what I was trying to tell people to buy. I have that exact same kit, though a bit different. As you can tell, there is no plug associated with the bulb.
The custom kits I was reffering to is what you saw in Antonio's hand, in which you have the bulb, THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE WIRES VIA BIG ORNAGE plug... In your pic, it is pretty obvious that there is no plug (What the hell are those two WHITE connectors then?)
As far as the OEM systems having a plug, this is totally out of scope, since we were discussing aftermarket kits anyway...
(Which use OEM philips ballast's,why is it out of scope,you were saying there is no need to have connectors,I pointed out that even OEM HID use connectors!)
READ the whole thread! This is what i was trying to say,Antonio was saying autolamps supply the kits with the philips connector on(The orange plug)they don't.
Christ this is hard work,WTF to you define as a connector!! The bulb in the picture has TWO connectors/plugs whatever you want to call them,just because it has a lead from the bulb to the connectors doesn't mean they are not connectors! The connector in Antonio's picture was from what looked like a philips ballast with the factory connector on-this is how philips make them,autolamps cut this off and install their own connectors. For it to be black like that i would guess he had a short somewhere(or water ingress) which caused a high voltage flash. Antonio was saying autolamps kits are Korean crap when this is simply NOT true.Philips don't have factories in Korea,ALL philips HID is made in Germany.In fact Antonio was blaming the philips component that you find on hundreds of cars.
Anything above 6000K is useless,go ahead and buy a 10000K system,you be able to see where you are going(these figures are bullshit anyway)
4100K WILL give the brightest output,6000K will give the best compromise of colour/output.To say there is no link between colour & output is bollocks!
Post up a pic of the the ballast with the burnt connector on Antonio and all will be able to see it is a philips component you are blaming.
