Is it a bike kit? One bulb, one ballast? May be cheaper for two people to buy a car kit and take half each. Aladin did this and I bought the second bulb and ballast from him so it worked out stupidly cheap for us both.

aye came to 40 quid each - so very cheap

and is very very worth while - the falco lights are good, but a dipped HiD is awesome - combine that with the always on mod and very very good lights


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Hi all,

Reasonable price, although, I bought a set off fleebay for £40 from china! They were actually bosch units! Apparently the parts are fabbed in other countries and made up in china. That was for a pair by the way :smt003

I now have my dipped lamp hid and my main beam hid as well for when I want to let all the obnoixous drivers that cross my path get a free suntan :smt004

Yes, the ballasts were a tinker to site, but, they are out of the way of my stansions.... :smt016

They're towed behind the bike on a little trailer.
