It was several years ago now that I bought them. Had my Astra-J now for 4 years, and IIRC fitted the Vectra-C with HIDs back in 2009.

I got them from a company called hids4us (not to be confused with hids4u). A google search can no longer find them. Shame really, because it was a damn good kit that I bought from them.

Go with LondonColour though, as others have suggested.

Give HID Direct a wide berth though. Heard too many bad things about them.

I don't agree i have a cheap chinese 35 watt HID kit with 6000k bulbs and they have been installed in 3 cars... no bulbs changed ever since i bought it, the only thing i needed extra were warning cancellers and they've been fine for over 3 years now in the vectra... longstory short, just get what ever you want to spend your money on, but i would look for a kit that is canbus compatible if i was going to buy a set again... and for the prices you can get them these days from china you can probably buy 3 hid kits of them for the price of 1 set from londoncolour...

ps i don't care what they all tell you here, it is a serious cost saving and if you see the light output mine gives you'll understand why i haven't bought a new set yet... ps i have mine for over 10 years now and brought them over when i moved to the UK, and to make it clear, i bought the cheapest set available something like this but go ahead and follow the better advise and buy more expensive like from londoncolour if you want to make sure your hid kit has decent quality and no long waits to sortout problems if they are still in warranty.

Best reply with a quote so the person gets a notification or type at their correct user name will also flag up see @Dog_Book @Skelly87

I see it here on my screen, although ive noticed over the years the lighting thing can be put in styling and electrical as well as other random areas of the forum and without any standardisation of where this kind of post should have gone or proactive moderation you just have to look about and find it. That's how Ive learnt looking and looking and reading new posts, well unless its the 3.0 cdti or the 1.8 vvt
Oh yeah, top tip the forum search tool is a little poo. Google search Vectra c and type the issue you might have to try different search words though to get similar results, you can also click on the user name and look at threads or posts a person has made and even search in the profile.
