Unless you have projector headlights why fit hid,s? On normal lights they are just fcukinf annoying when driving towards them at night.
When ever I see hid,s driving towards me I always think hear come a corsa or something chavvy.   :grin:

The fact they are projector is better as it projects rhe light into an area you can see that don't blond other drivers. But when fitted to normal headlights that are not projectors they are just annoying to other drivers and look chavvy.

There was a post up not that long about it. Unless you have projector headlights with with the ability to lower the beam from the inside, and headlight washers to clean them then it'll be a fail, and they'll be no way round it unless you have all of the requirements.
