HIDs

On the "How To" guide section on here, there is a guide on how I fitted mine.
My Ballasts are between the light units and radiator.
I utilised a couple of handy existing holes
You can just see them in the pictures I posted.

This is where mine is on the passenger side, behind the light unit and down bolted down using an existing 6mm bolt hole and then tie wraps round it just so it does not bounce around. The drivers side is in the same location but you'll notice that the existing hole is being used on that side as an earthing point, but you can still use it.



You'll have to bend the brackets to make them fit, but they bend very easily.
Or just put them where dogsbody has, actually on a side note graham have you noticed if yours interferes with radio reception, listening to a disc or mp3 player plugged in everythings ok but switch to the radio and it struggles to tune in. Good job I hardly listen to the radio .

I have not noticed the radio having problems, It's Kenwood system.
So I don't know if the reception is better

I know it was OK yesterday morning, as I forgot to pick my Ipod up which is normally plugged into the head unit.

What an interesting post this, but still confused about which HID's kit to buy off ebay as there seem to be a price range from £50.00 to £80.00. Not including the postage at £10.00 extra.

As long as it's HB3 or 9005 which is the correct bulb fitment, I don't think it makes much difference.
You can have different colours of the bulbs.

If I was buying another kit, I think I would go for a UK seller.
I had a duff bulb in my kit, and the cost to return it for exchange was so expensive.
I just bought two spare bulbs from another Ebay seller for less than it was going to cost me.

Pumas use HB3 (9005) Bulbs right?

Yes, that's right

Just an update on this. 279 has just passed its MOT with the HIDS fitted .

Thought while I've got the passenger light out I would grab a photo of the placement of the ballast unit on mine in case anybody wants it for reference.
