I posted this in another thread...
you have to reach for it where the wheel guard is near your front wheels ...

I'll re-post them here for you mate...

=================================================
For people who are thinking about installing HIDS on the standard model..
Heres a few things I found easier for me ...

LEFT HEADLIGHT
*For the left side light, best way to undo the stock headlights is to turn the wheels all the way to the right, undo the screw in the wheel arch, and reach your in and turn the light cover tab anti clockwise.
*Unhook the light by unhooking the wire hook that is securing the light.
*Pull both (2) connectors off the light housing, and pull the existing bulb out.
*I found it easier to pop the bonnet, and undo the wires connected to the light. And to install the HIDS, it was easier putting the HID bulb in through the wheel arch rather than through the bonnet.
*Connecting the HIDS will depend on the kit you've got.

RIGHT HEADLIGHT
*I found it easier on the right side to move the container and unhook the tab just like the right side, by undoing it anticlockwise
*If you cant do it, move the wheels to the left, and undo the wheel housing cover.
*Same process as left side, but in this case, I found it easier to mount the mounting bracket as there was more space.
============================================

Hi,
This is my first post!
I read in the noob forum that installing these hid yourself can make you liable in a crash. I want to install HIDs to my new euro that im picking up tonight but possible liablity is a big put off, especially if insurance decides not to pay up if anything happens...

Is this true?

Hey guys, just install 6000K HID on my CU2. took 4 hours for me to do (two noobs doing this by ourself

). Happy with the result, just need to replace the rest of the bulbs now (parker, interior)

Seems like I have to get my ass into gear and do it myself!
What kit did you use Denot?

^^^ bought a second hand one from one of the member here (thanks end07!) But in the future I will change it to a better one (MTEC?)

Just a quick question out of curiosity...
Are there much difference between cheaper HIDS and the more expensive?

Does it really effect it in respect to brightness and how widespread the beam is?
