Here you go mate. The ballasts are the same size as the 50 watt ones.

These are the ones I'm talking about. There also the only guy who sell the ballasts that I would trust in H3. I had a lot more options with the H9s and H4s I've got before. This bloke is very well priced compared to others.
Cheers Mick.

HIDs dont put out anywhere near the heat of halogen bulbs mate so should be fine.

I cant be 100% sure with Narvas as I've never converted a set to HID myself. It's not the heat that stuffs them it's the UV rays as it's much higher in HID apparently. Do a bit of a google search and see what you find but I've personally never heard any bad feed back about them failing after being converted to HID so I think you will be right. Make sure you use a wiring loom and relay thats up to the job and everything should be sweet.
The only lights I've had problems with is the Light force Genesis which have a habit of shattering lens. I've had a couple do it which is why I've recently replaced them. I'd never touch another set of these.
Cheers Mick.

Those cheap 100 watt HIDs only put out about 80 to 85 watts anyway so you would be lucky to spot the difference between those 70 watt and the 100 watt ballasts anyway.

Dan, I'd be interested to know how you got on with your lights. I'm in the same boat, looking for a good set of spots at a reasonable price. I have not embraced the HID technology yet but probably about time I did. Are you happy with the Narva/55W HID combo?

I have standard IPF's that Nissan put on and about 3 years ago young bloke in a Nissan dealership spare parts suggested the HID conversion kit for about $220. They are 35 watts and they are absolutely BRILLIANT in every way. Took me about 90 minutes to install and I'm no auto electrician
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)
