I know those bulbs on eBay are cheap but aren't the proper Xenon bulbs like £40 a pop?
Ive got hids in mine, think they were about £25 but they arent exactly legal.
Personally id spend that bit more and get some decent ones, especially in the fogs as its a bumper off job (unless you have the hands of a toddler) ive had cheap sets of bulbs in mine and they dont last 5 minutes.
Osram nightbreakers are a well rated halogen bulb, theres also some philips extreme something or other but cant remember what they are called
If you do go for hid's go for a sensible colour temp and make sure they are aligned properly and pointing at the floor!
They are extremely bright and will dazzle other drivers if they arent set up properly!
You'll also have to take them out for your mot!
Also cheers for the rep!
I've been offered some HIDs for mine, and also where I get my MOT done, they told me they are still MOTable, so hopefully I should be okay for the MOT.. If the bulbs are H7 then ill get the HID kit as its cheap off a friend
To legally get through an mot with hids you need projector lights with auto leveling and headlight washers iirc.
Retrofitting them is defo not legal!
Sounds like hes a 'friendly guy' so if you get through with them bonus!
Like I say they are about £25 posted so theyd have to be cheap second hand else you may aswell get the warranty with them.
Again I must stress that they have to be set up 100% and pointing as low as you can get them.
