HIDS?

I know a lot of people dont like them, think they're tacky, chavvy, blinding, mot fail next year etc. etc. etc. I dont want the stupid blue ones i am just interested in upgrading my lights as I do a fair bit of driving at night and tbh the standard headlights arent great.

So, who has fitted them? Good results? Recommended kits?

ive got a set on the willy 1 and willy 3 hi/lo beam 8000K. had them fitted for years on the willy 3 with no probs whatsoever. i made the mistake of buying a cheap set £37.99 from ebay(for the willy 1 the other week)which use the battery to power them(fookin awful! wires to short and just tacky) so paid the extra £70 a got a decent set that just plug and play directly into the 3 pin H4 connector.

Sounds good, whats the beam pattern like and where did you get them?

beam pattern seems ok and i dont get people flashing me all the time! my mate being an MOT tester is a help :D but changing a bulb over once a year is not too hard to do!

one more thing, what colour temperature did you go for?

Big thumbs up for hids. Won't be without them now. Should be industry standard IMO. Aslong as they're correctly adjusted I think they're fine. From January 1st 2012 they will fail and MOT unless fitted with lamp washers and self levellers. As a tester I'll remove them for test then put them back on.

Yeah i've heard they arent too bad to fit so wouldnt be problem to change them once a year

i went for the 8000K believe its blue/white
