alexavfc Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 And by the way, the alignment will not change when you replace the standards, but if for some rare reason you mess it up, you can get them realigned at your local mot station.. this is the only reason they'd fail you on an mot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithC Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 i think we might have a few potentail piggies coming up through the ranks nah, most of what's been said about HID's by the detractors is correct, something Piggy failed to grasp. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S666LER Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wrong, They would fail on no headlight washers and self levelling light system aswell Wrong have had cars pass with aftermarket hid kits installed and know of other cases.

S666LER Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Not as simple as that mate, you will have ballasts and all sorts to remove as well. Each to their own. The ballast is between what connects to your bulb and the plug for the back of the bulbs itself so its basically the same as removing a standard h7 bulb from you car. Maybe 15mins i will give ya that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 yes your correct they shouldnt have passed. my 206 failed with them in so i took them out and never put them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Update.... well today i fitted the hids and got to say the beam pattern is spot on. Maybe a tad lower. Gonna give them a go and see how i get on. First thoughts are very white and clear went 4300k as did not want them to be really blue. Before with halogen After with hid fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexavfc Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Nice matey, although I was going to opt for the 6000k myself Easy to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Nice matey, although I was going to opt for the 6000k myself Easy to fit? Yes and no, remove head light and take off the rubber cap which has the h7 bulb behind it. Then pull the plug off the back of the h7 bulb, you will then notice that the plug has a metal clip on it. Separate the two and then comes the annoying bit, you need to cut the clip as its a circle and the wires wont fit through it,so just snip the metal so you can clip it around the bulb, and then put the bulb back in to the original hole again securing the clips. I think it will be fine to convert back to h7 bulbs but just annoying that you have to cut it. When you get to the point of this you will see what i mean. Once you have got the hid clipped in and secure you will then need to make a hole in the rubber cap. Up to you how you do it but i made it to bigger hole really as once i fitted the lights back in the wires and everything fell back into the headlight itself and only needed a small hole to let the wires through. So once you have got the wires through the hole, connect up the 2 wires (one red ,one black)into the original plug to get power to the lights. Now its just a case of putting the ballasts under the bonnet somewhere and then turning them on. 1 thing i noticed on the first 2 turn ons of the lights before the engine was running was 1st time the n/s light did not come on and then the 2nd time the o/s did not come on. 3rd start up and all was fine and has been since then so whether the ecu was adjusting or something but its been fine since. Let me know how ya get on and if you need any help i will try and point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipz Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ok ive just been watching Wheeler Dealers on Shed and they were fitting aftermarket HID kits to cars they were selling and didnt mention anything about self leveling lights or self cleaning. The Lexus they were fitting them to did have self cleaning lights but nothing mentioned about them. Also they just kept called the HID lights modern lights or sporty lights. Ideas? More importantly how are people getting on with there HID lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S666LER Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nah still illegal unless its got self leveling lights and washers, and too be honest i would not take what they say on wheel dealers with much hope. I am getting on good, not had a single flashing lights/middle finger from anyone and is alot nicer to drive with the clearer lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
