Less than 5 minutes to change over?

Yes but what happens (heaven forbid) if in that crash you were injured etc and could not get back to the car.

Put simply, he'd be f**ked.  :laugh:

Technically not. Injured or not I'd still be able to ring my dad!

What if...(heaven forbid), you couldn't ring because you'd lost your arms? I would imagine you'd ask someone to ring your Dad to remove your HIDs wouldn't you? LOL!

I can see the screaming in pain, but still:

"AHHHH JESUS, HELP ME!!!! MY ARMS!!!! Oh excuse me Mr. Paramedic, could you just grab my phone from my pocket, I seem to be missing my arms, and can you ring my Dad and hold it to my ear please? Thanks." LOL!


Enough of the gruesome talk, we all know HIDs are illegal, and they must be run at the owners risk, it's that simple. We speed, we do it at our own risk, we use foglights when it's not foggy, we do it at our own risk, all of these things can contribute to being inconsiderate on the roads, and everyone who drives the roads of the UK has at some point or another either been inconsiderate or broken the law and gotten away with it.

What if someone hit him? Does that mean that the their insurance will inspect his car and can they decline a claim if they found HIDs?
