    Ordering HIDs from understeer.com??

    I am getting new HIDs from understeer.com :D and the website had an option for a relay harness and/or LBF modules. What are these options? and I was wondering if ordering these along with the kit is necessay. Thanks for the help.

    You don't need the LBF. Those are for newer cars for when you convert them to H.I.D. They need an extra relay in order for the ballast to work to fire the bulbs.

    Just buy the kit. No extra stuff.

    Hope that helps a bit.

            LBF=Low Beam Failure. As mentioned, not really an issue for the E30. Some of the newer cars see HID's as a burnt out bulb because of the difference in impedance.

              understeer is 210 with the race kit and a warranty. i think the 55w kit is around 265 with a warranty

                      They have all types of kits, sponsor over on Bimmerforums.com.

                      Just don't know which kit will work with E30 US Ellipsoids.

                          No but the guy I bought them from is still around. Search the Group Buy forum for HID and you should stumble over a locked thread. I know he doesn't want to do any more group buys but he might be willing to hook you up.
