you will be fine, they wont dazzle nobody. had them in mine for 4 years

Ahhh - cunning use of the double negative construct.  If see what you're doing there.  :grin:

Don't do it, no one needs to be dazzled by your bodged in rubbish, especially not the MOT tester next year.  :grin:

you need HIDs in my area. the amount of people just walk out onto the main road its shocking!!! they dont look just close their eyes & hope the best. also women with their farking pram. trust me wayne defo need them!!! and on nights they wear black clothes and you only seen them when they have gone over the top of your car!!! :rolleyes:

No, you need to slow down in an urban area so you don't kill people and fit a legal relay kit which will improve the voltage to your current lights and make them much brighter.  You do not need to fit HIDs.  As covered many times before, unless they're in correctly designed and E-marked units they will dazzle due to the beam scatter.  Anyone who doesn't see this should probably get their eyes tested as they must be blind.

See me - I'm just hating on illegal rubbish.  It's not a crime, but the junk you're talking about putting in your headlight units is.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

This



Resulted in this



Standard bulbs still in and without the alternator running.

Although not a great demonstration being daylight and all, I guarantee my daily drives projectors are p155 poor in comparison. 

The light travels soooo far without blinding anybody, totally legal and do not suddenly stop short of themselves with a sudden end of range like HID's do within their correct fitment.

HIDs will only glare where Halogen flares but much brighter, so stupidly bright halogen lights will have the same effect.

Although I must agree with DH on the fact that relayed headlights make a huge difference. My ign switch went and was running round with relayrd headlights bodged in (from an after fitted and gone back to standard switch and the lights are really poor in comparrison!

Running 90w bulbs and will relay them tomorrow. Legal? Not strictly but thet don't glare at all. Found 4300k HIDs were the same in these lights but awful glare in the Vento headlights.

But this set up on Relays and decent halogens is far more then enough.

Personally from a 'moral' point of view HIDs in Hellas Twins are fine as regardless of what the haters on here say THERE IS NO glare and they don't blind and have a good cut off. However, they are illegal

Aftermarket HIDs will be an MOT failure as of January 2012, so their presence on your car will be short-lived. Get a relay kit if you really want an improvement that is legal, if not then be prepared.

6000k would be better

relayed lights would be best
