HID headlight conversions
Can anyone recommend any particular HID headlight conversions?

I've got a smashed headlight which needs replacing and whilst I'm at it I thought I'd give these a go, I run HID spots which I love but it would great to have it on dipped headlights too...

So, anyone any experiences (good and bad) with these?

Oh, and I'm well aware of the legality issues.... Whistle

Go To Specsavers Instead!
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw they were £1000 a pair exclusive of VAT.

I thought that when you ventured into HID territory it got expensive but LEDs knock HIDs into a cocked hat.

How much light and the amount people are prepared to pay for it beggars belief sometimes....Just drive during daylight hours and save yourself a mint....

I'd be interested to see what they look like, fitted!

I'm thinking of getting some too.....

At the moment I have Philips HID Conversion, with AMR3025 (Windscreen washer jets) for headlamp washers.

I thought, at least in Australia, another requirement of the HID system is a Halogen Supplementary Main Beam?
