Hid

[sphinX]

Got some morettes coming and I want to put some HID xenon lights in. Is it h4 on the outter and h2 on the inner? Anyone recommend any to get? or is it an ebay jobby

Not sure which lamps to use but it is illegal to use HID bulbs in headlamps not designed for them.

I have got the 6000K HID conversion in my 5 which i have had in all my past cars an they have always passed its mot an have never been pulled by the police for them but i sometimes get flashed by on coming cars as they are a bit bright but the way i see it is i can see were im going thats the main thing

[tiff_lee]

lol thats the main thing even if you blind other drivers? bit of an ignorant perspective isn't it?

I was going to fit HID myself but after reading numerous thing on the net and seeing that video I didn't bother.

I have Bi-xenon HID 4300 but bulbs have small caps in front and reflect light to the back. In this case you do not have "hot spot" that blinds the other drivers. I regularly pass any headlight test since the bulbs are not too bright and beam height is adjusted properly.

The kits are not hard to fit

1 wire to battery +
1 wire to batter -
plug 1 side into original headlight plug
1 wire to earth on the body

then its a case of securing the wires

i changed mine on the 5 at 10pm an took about 20 mins

99.9% of kits are same Chinese questionable quality products (including mine) and these prices from the site are more than double of fair market price. I payed my H4 Bi-xenon kit around 70 quids. Still working without any problems for 5 months now.
