HID Conversion
#1
Hi all,

I have recently purchased a 15 plate J, the only issue i am having with her is that i cannot get along with the headlights, they seem really dim, even when clean.

Possibly because I am used to running HID's in my ancient old banger . 

Does anyone have any recommendations for HID conversion kits, or alternatively - bloody bright headlights?

Thanks, 

Andrew

First thing is we don't support or condone people fitting HID's into halogen head lamps as most of us have been blinded by them etc.

Also you could fail your MOT.

But if you were to fit projectors then you could quite happily run HID's.

If you didn't fancy doing them yourself you could a set of aftermarket projector units and a HID kit.
