If I manage to find myself a set of projector lights (I know they're out there somewhere) and fit HID's and then get them added to my engineers report to certifiy that they have the right lighting angle etc etc this won't be a problem.Quote:

My last three cars have had them.
My new car doesn't and it's no big deal.
Osram Nightbreakers are brilliant for a fraction of the cost.
if you want HID than do a jap spec style~ 0.33 in this video

LOL
I'm leaning toward HID's coz I live in the country and I don't want the front of my :honda: car nailed by a roo, koala, wombat, cow, dog, fox, etc etc. So the more light I stick out the front of my car the more confident i am driving. It's also uncool to have a fox bust a hole in your radiator and have to walk about an hour back to town when it's been hitting 2 degrees here at night......brrrrrrrrr.....:eek:Quote:

You can get those Osram bulbs for around $30-40 delivered from UK (eBay) but I still would like to give HID a go..Quote:

And, yes, don't go Bi-Xenon, because HIDS have a warm up period and they dislike getting flicked on and off, and that's how you can destroy them, so imo, i don't think there is much point going for high beams in HIDS, Just stick with the low beams :)
Thanx dude!

And yeah, i can post some pictures up :)
I have had my kit for about a month now, i've had no problems what so ever, and no they don't overheat, at all.
Installation was easy as, took me about 30-40mins ? I didn't have to cut or modify any of the electrical on the car, i just had to put bigger spade bits on the wires from the HID ballasts, so they would sit in the lightbulb plugs properly :)
I can either get pictures this weekend, during the day/arvo/night. if you want to see the transition between the times in the day.
where are your door latches?? how do you get into the car hahahaQuote:
