My bro in law put a hid kit in his alfa 156. Took 1 hour. Not a bad result.
Im not sure of the legalities in my Euro as its a standar so I dont know the local ACT laws on retrofitting a HID kit to stock projectors.
Im thinking it will be fine though.
Know any reputable brands?
With HID, no headlight washers and no autolevellers = illegal.Quote:

no... not many ppl know and they start arguing that all they need is HIDs below certain amount of how many K................... rubbish.
Yup, however, not many cops know to check for the washers, and the autolevellers themselves can't be identified from a simple roadside inspection.
I suggest you get OEM HIDS, so buy another set of Euro Lux headlights + ballasts + ignitors, D2S Bulbs but of course this comes at a cost**
But like aaronng said, it will NOT be legal unless you have auto levellers + washers but hey nothing what's legal these days? haha
Akina, it is very possible to change ur parker lights by just squeezing ur hand through the back of the headlight cavity (you might need to loosen the water bottle on the left). Anyway, how's it going dude? :)
lol I tried on the right first and couldn't get to it... so decided to go from the bottom and it worked... so i did the same on the left :p
I'm fine man, waiting for answers on either HKS or Fuji exhaust :) how about u?
It's easier to go through the wheel liner.Quote:

My question is : Will the Euro standard projector assembly handle the output and heat from a hid ( is it the same internals as a lux) or will I MELT the standards projector?
HIDs run cooler than halogens. The projector assembly for the base model is for halogens though, so when you put a HID bulb in it, the beam pattern is not as good as in the Lux with its HID projectors. You get more glare and the irritating shadows running from the bottom of the headlight out towards the front of the car.Quote:
