They're H4. 2 filaments in the same bulb.

I bought this set the other week and they work well. It also passed the MOT which some conversions don't..  Cool

That's great thanks Smile! Did you get the 6 or 8k? And was it easy to fit??

I got the 6 - I think the 8 is too blue..
There's no extra wiring as everything just plugs in. I took the headlights right out to get the bulb in and make sure it was all right as this makes it a bit easier. But wouldn't be hard if you do it all on the car.

Yes, I seem to have connect all the wires up as they only seem to go in 1 way and connected it into the plug on the car Which usually plugs into the back of the bulb (if that makes sense) and nothing! So not sure what Iv done wrong, does the ballast box need earthing? I nee john boys help I think! I hate wiring!! And you want to see these translated instructions! There beyond useless!

I'll look into it at the weekend, I'm wondering if the ballasts have to be earthed to the car?

I would assume on nissan it simply case of plugging original car bulb plug to the mating male plug on the ballast & then the other loom & plug on ballast runs to the HID bulb tail connector. 12v hot & earth's are all used from original loom except for some differing wiring on specific manufacturers/models & most of those come with a non plug & play wiring kit .

I don't understand why it's not working then? I'll have a proper go at it on Saturday and see what happens

This one doesn't actually take a hot wire from the loom, it gets all it's power from the existing light socket so there are no extra wires.
Tried to take some pics but not too good. Ballasts bolted to existing bolt holes. Tomorrow I'll unbolt one of the ballasts and see if it keeps working...

that is what I said, 12v hot & earth are used from original loom, the ballast male plug that goes to the original loom ... if plugged in all correctly & original loom plugs are not corroded thus giving poor connection it is possible you got a dud kit but would not expect both to be bad. swap some parts over (such as bulb then power lead) & see if you can get at least one working.
