are the mk3 lights particularly sh!t then? i dont see the need for hid's tbh, regardless of the law!

with the mk2's an uprated loom and bright bulbs are more than good enough

I can't remember what the standard lights were like now as I've not had them for well over a year, and the light output from the Hella Twins isn't too bad but it's noticeably better with HIDs.

Ha! you called them Hella Twins! I win

Anyway, Hella lights output the same as a candle tbh

I can't be fecked with Quins lol! It'll never catch on. Never had a real problem with the original way the lights output light, but it's much better now.

Okay regardless of illegal or not, my insurance company now know about them and have added them to my list of modification with no change to policy or premium.  :smiley:

I love some Japanese cars but don't like where the scene is going (basically down Chavsville).

Oh yes I have, and it appears the Jap Scene in Yeovil is getting bigger, at least they are leaving the Dub scene alone now lol!

To be honest I'm not even that fussed

Yes I'm only TPF&T

All mods declared apart from the HID kit.. I didn't think they'd care about 2 poxy upgraded headlight bulbs. In that case I better tell them that my dash lights up blue instead of green and this could clearly be a distraction whilst driving at night resulting in me sticking my car in a ditch. Oh and while I'm at it I better mention my orange US running lights and my LED number plate bulbs. Seriously, do you think they'll give two sh!ts?

I have no intention of driving like a tit and crashing my car. I drive everywhere like an old grandad (bit hard not to with a car that's about 10mm off the floor). The only time my car will get damaged is if somebody crashes into me, then it's them at fault and it's them who will pay out.

I couldn't care less if their insurance company didn't pay out anyway as I don't even want the car so I could break it to get my money back and buy a car I do want. I only bought it because it was cheap (£300) it had 6 months tax and 11 months mot. It was just a daily hack to last me through until next year when I'll be 20 and can afford to insure something better than a poxy VW :grin:

End of.

Thanks.

But your not biting at all  :grin:
