Quad headlights
« on: 28 December 2009, 20:28 »
Hi

Was thinking of getting a set of those quad headlights, do they come with all the right connections for just a direct replacement or do you need to mess about with wiring?

Where the best / nost cost- effective place to get them?

Thanks

Straight fit.. plug and play :)

Ebay/forums probably your best bet. Genuine Hella ones in good condition can sell for between £100 and £150.
Cheap ebay copies are £120 brand new so worth peanuts second hand.

Early cars had different plugs but easy enough to change.

Thats why you need to fit HIDs to them. Just fitted HIDs to a members on here car on sat. They look amazing. I also had them fitted to my motor with hellas so much difference.

Before anyone says it, not illegal just not to the VOSAs requirement.

People can say whatever they want about the legality of HID's but my mate was pulled over by VOSA in Ipswich and they never mentioned his so they can't be that worried about them can they!!!
