Facelift CD used halogen projectors, CDX and up Xenons

I fitted aftermarket HIDs to mine

After market hids? What do these consist of Martin? Just a head light unit?



These kits have been around for a few years  :)

If you do go this route please ensure you fit the required self leveling and washers and don't just become another person driving around blinding people coming the other way :-)

These aftermarket kits are the ones that DfT/VOSA have been getting a bee in their bonnet over, and have made clear that in their minds are NOT suitable for UK use

Well, if that's the case, I do find it odd that somebody, who I distinctly remember posting up on here how annoyed he was that other cars lights where so bright that he found it difficult to see, would then go out and buy illegal Hid lights and fit them to his own car.

I've seen these In action and they are ridiculous, to say the least. Great for the driver, but blinding to everyone else.
