Pete91 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I used to use one's i got from hids4u.com. I think they were 6k. Do you know that they're an mot fail? Also it's really easy to fit them so unless it's a mate of yours installing them for you then it might be worth giving it a bash yourself?

Mike_M Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Expect to be pulled over and fail an MOT it you retro fit HID's into reflector lenses and with not having auto levelers and headlight washers since april this year.4300k is the OEM colour and the higher the number the bluers the colour and the more attraction to the old bill you will create.Just a warning as the 6 month grace period is due to finish in a month or two.

danoid Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 You'll put them on and they'll be illegal, unless your car has washing and auto levelling, which it won't.You should look into Philips Blue Vision or Crystal Vision if you like. Very good bulbs.I've only ever used Crystal Vision, which is technically illegal in the UK, but meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've only ever used Crystal Vision, which is technically illegal in the UK, but mehWhat's the point of not doing something because it's illegal to then replace it with something illegal :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabba45 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Think i will just go for the philips blue vision then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonny.s Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I cant imagine just how crap they actually lookDid you really need to say that? How about you look at them first before you paint everyone with the same brush as they say, unless I ask for yor opinion on my car I'll prefer if you kept it to yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Defcon5, regarding the bulb, on the metal rim bit it says something like "NOT FOR USE IN EU" I'm sure I read somewhere about the way the light is filtered, pathetic really!I believe I've still got the original box somewhere, but I know it's defo on the bulb itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 What's the point of not doing something because it's illegal to then replace it with something illegal :sMore effort, plus they don't have the light output on what xenons do, so therefore less conspicious(sp?) they pass MOT, whereas aftermarket HID's wouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
