ScaldedApe Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Are HID's worth the hassle ?Taking them out for the mot / getting caught by the police after an accident etc (touch wood)Are the practical and not just look better. Id like some brighter headlights ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 If you have projector headlights then youll more than likely get away with them without washers & self levelling. I fitted bixenon projectors to my fiesta along with 5k 35w HIDs and it passed an MOT after replacing 2 wheel bearings. Never been pulled, flashed or had a bad word said about them. Done correctly and within reason (colour temp etc) you SHOULD be okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The light output compared to standard bulbs: in non hid designed reflectors they're craps and infuriating. In correct projector headlights they're amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaldedApe Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 We have a 2010 Titanium Fiesta which does have projectors, so it could be worth it.Id get a decent set and closest to white possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reccomend 4300k or 5k. Yeah the worst thing you can do is get a cheap set. These have problems with different colours and high failure rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sym8olo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 For our cars, (I have a titanium 2009 with projectors too) which would be your recommended brand, I am looking on amazon and am a bit ignorant , do we just need the bulbs or the kit as well?

You need the full kt Ballasts and bulbs (H7 for dipped beam / projector) My neighbour bought a H7 kit from eBay for £25 but then sold his car and his new one already has factory HID, so he gave me his kit. Ive fitted it today, and it makes quite a bit of difference compared to the Osram Silverstars (2 months old) that were in before. Its a 6000k kit and so much whiter than the Osrams.
