Hid's

Is it safe to use hid lights in standard headlights as I'm reading about people saying not to but not stating why? Have any of you guys done this? Cheers

Nope as the beam pattern is hopeless, just run uprated bulbs.

If you really want HID's fit some decent projector headlights, or better still, hold out for some OEM xenon/.:R32 headlights.

These are still technically illegal without auto levelling and washers, but I doubt you'd ever have an issue with them.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Ther's no point spending double the money and fitting OEM xenons then lol
