HI Guys,

I'm new here!

I was wondering if anyone has installed a HID kit to their Galaxy. I have the 2008 model and was thinking of getting a HID kit fitted in?

Secondly, I need to fit some seat covers. My son usually makes a mess in our long journey's out of town. I have been recommend http://www.autoleathers.co.uk/. I was wondering if anyone had purchased any seat covers from there and would it have any impact on folding the rear seats down?

Thanks for your help in advance.

    Rear seats still fold tho bind a little on covers. You'll need a few cable ties to fit em all as not enough clips in packaging.

    Bear in mind HID kits are illegal to install if the headlight lenses are not rated for them.

    You can only install HID if the lens is rated to this, as otherwise, it scatters the beam. This alone would be an instant MOT Failure, and any bored policeman would be happy to pull you over, issuing a ticket and a rectification notice.
