Yes it's possible, obviously you are using you car off road only though and an H1 kit fits straight on it. Off road on your dads mates nans farm though, isn't it?

are the hella quads projector lenses?

ah so by the answers so far i take it HID conversions are not street legal then? oh right i was not aware of this?
if thats the case maybe i wont do it then.
mite have to invest in some osram nightbreaker bulbs instaed.

so have i opened a an of worms? lol

i never new they was not street legal. i see so many people with them around my area i just asumed they was ok to use on the street.

and yes they are projectors i think but mine seem to be crap at night.

hold on a sec i have just been looking online and is it true that hid headlights are fine to use on the road if fitted in projector headlights? as they focus the beam more directly?
