Unfortunately, these lights are powered from a 'ballast' unit which is about the size of a cigarette packet and in my case the wires weren't long enough to allow mounting where it needed to be which was lower down in the horncast. I cut and extended all the wires including the ones to the ignitor and in that state, I took these photos with my I Phone:

By comparison, this was my 60/55 watt H4 converted standard light:

This is what came in the kit

And here's where I mounted the ballast (horns are under the leggies)

Following the about 'test' I read up on extending the wiring with HIDs and the consensus was that due to the very high voltages involved, 20-30kv joining the 2 ignitor wires was not recommended. Pre made extension leads are available though provided you buy an HID unit that follows the norm....mine didn't unfortunately so I still have some soldered and heat shrunk joints but I buttoned it all up and went for a spin on some very dark country lanes around Norfolk last night and was absolutely amazed

The pictures don't really do it justice, the beam illuminated right across the road in a good wide bright white beam.
I checked the current consumption which is 3.8 amps for main and 4.1 for dip. I was a bit surprised by that until I realised that Dip requires a solenoid to move the lamp.
Now I know it works I will probably buy a more expensive unit at some point
