That photo was with only my low beam HID installed, hence 1 ballast.
Finished install has 2 ballasts and 2 HID's.
Do you have seperate high and low beam bulbs in the car? or are the high and low beam in the 1 bulb. If they are in the 1 bulb you can get what is called Bi-Xenon HID's which have both high and low beam together. This will only require 2 ballasts instead of 4.
If you have seperate high and low beams, i don't suggest you go with HID for high beam, they take time to warm up and hence don't work very well when used for flashing high beam (it's also bad for the HID bulbs).
I got mine from this place since most of the CBR guys said they were small size ballasts and good quality. Xenon Expert
Otherwise Ebay seems to have alot choice now.
Cheers
Sam

yeah i know of the bi xenons, we bought some for lozzle & her RVR.
nah the car in question has like.. h7/h3's for high and low, meaning, i need 4 ballasts. i know of the lag between low and high, but meh. spose i could just leave the regular halogens in for high.
just looked like from the picture of your box with hid crap in it there was only one ballast there
cheers,
lee

Appreciate the comments guys.
Fixed the bar end today, not really anything worth taking a photo of.
Just waiting for some more bits at the moment.
For those of you asking again about the powder coating.
DIAMOND POWDERCOATING.
They are in welshpool/kewdale.
The guys name is Martin, very helpful and understanding.
Sorry don't have the number handy.

With powder coating you can get pretty much any colour you like.
So you could probably only get a group thing done if everyone wanted the same colour.
Worth a shot though.

Brake Bling and Blinking bling
Today i get some more bling.
Braking Wavey Discs front & Rear, also some Rizoma LED indicators to replace the bus size indicators on the front.
Unfortunately my wheels are still off at the tyre shop waiting for tyres. 
Will fit the indicators over the w/end with photos.
