Shazaam what do you mean by unacceptable pattern? BTW I don't live in the UK, I live in Greece, and our beam direction is I guess the same as in the US.

So far I have come to the following conclusions:

- The kits with the Bosch logo are fake. They are generic ballasts made by a Chinese company (and I would steer WELL clear of any chinese products).

- Other kits I've seen on the market are using the same ballast, only branded differently. However, users are quite happy with their performance. That been said, I would be wary of the whole system catching on fire, being of Chinese origin (not being racist - just that I've seen it happen on MANY chinese products)

- CQ Light seems to be using a different ballast + invertor, but I don't know how good these are performance wise.

- McCullogh is good, however they are a bit more expensive than the others.

- Also Xetronic is the best option but the cost is really high.

PS. Double checked the manual: Indeed it says Headlamp type: H4
(but they must obviously have it wrong, as H4 is double fillament bulb)
