Can of worms, can of worms, can of worms.....


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?

Shut the f**k up Josho, you were all over HID's like a rash when you realised they were an affordable price!!

You even mentioned somewhere you were making some custom headlights to house the HID's. I think you just slag them off all the time because you don't want other people to have what you've got.

Man up, stop talking absolute bo11ocks, and actually get yourself a driving license and a roadworthy car before you start making comments about what's legal and what's not. I'm sure driving your parents cars on the road with no license is perfectly legal isn't it :huh:


Stainesy, HID's are perfectly fine for road use. Yeah people constantly moan about the 'glare' and the fact they blind other road users, but put simply; tough sh!t. Maybe they should buy themselves a set or go to their local opticians because I never EVER have any problems with a car that has HID's coming towards me!

I've had my HID's on my car for OVER a year now, no problems whatsoever, and I hang out in the chavviest places you could ever imagine (Ipswich, Southend, Yarmouth) with police all over the place.

Look mate, don't know what your love attraction is with Josho, but keep it away from me, OK?

Stop being a c*nt, HIDs in Hella twins are 100% illegal, I don't give a flying f**k whether you or anyone else runs them, but stop making out they are all dandy, because at the end of the day they aren't.

Your just butthurt because your little LED idea had already been done by me. :grin:

Immature tw*t.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....
