b1g_dav3 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Howdy, after having a ride in my dad's new car with HID's, I'm actually quite impressed by how much light is given off by them. So, I have a few questions as I wouldn't mind a GOOD install on my car. I have projector lens lights, so they're not the reflector's that blind the bajeezus out of everything with a retina which is tick box number 1. 1) Question 1 is are HID's direct plug-in and play? Do I need to modify anything at all? 2) Question 2 is where can I store the ballasts? 3) Question 3 is can anyone point me in the direction of a good set, currently looking at Euro car parts at £65 (will get a discount as my girlfriend's dad is the manager of a branch) 4) What colour temperature do I want? So just those 3 thanks! Now before I finish; 1) Yes, I know it's 'illegal' 2) No, if done properly they will not burn your retina from your skull Thank you for your time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 I'll be breaking the law for about 10 mins, then they're going to be legally done :( just want to see if the amount of extra light is really worth me properly investing in.

AFAIK there's no legal way of doing on the Fiesta, you need self-leveling motors, washer jets and for the whole thing to be 'E' marked.

Meh, the washers and motors will be enough for me :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
