you can get them but proper ones are hundreds of pounds. might as well jsut uprate the wiring etc which will make it light ultra bright.

Off topic Anto, but can you update your email address to a valid one? Ed has the catch-all on the MSC and all the bounce back emails from your address are coming to him. When you change your email address you will need to reactivate your account by clicking the link in the email to your new address. I'll delete this post when you've changed it.
If your address IS valid let me know that too
Cheers,
James.

Someone told me just now that i can get bulbs for 230 euro that just go straight in. So i might look into that but for an extra 70 i could go 2 bucket seats instead an get higher watt normal blue bulbs, hard to know which to do

Is there much point in them to be honest?
I'd rather spend the money on some other kind of modification.

yep but they last for ever and use less power and are brighter... so although expensive they are better in every way

i think they are a "finnishing touch" mod... something you do after everything else along with a vallet or leather trim

nah i dont agree, the places where i go out for a blast have no streetlamps and covered in trees. also my mates house is all backroads so i think they would be worthwhile but not for 400 quid. jsut upggrade your wiring and bulbs.

i have 100w bulbs in lazer blue, but they will still burn out... i would buy the HiD kit now if there wasn't more important things that need buying...
i would get this kit:

cos its just as bright but more blue/violet than other kits
Most HID set up are for spot lighs and looking throughthte Demon Tweeks catalogue they are available for around £400 per lamp.
Yo would probably want some sort of quick release method so yo could putthem on the car whan you wanted to use them if you wanted to keep them for any length of time.
There is a headlamp conversion kit "from £425" but it doesn't say if you need one or two to convert you lamps.
An alternative would be a decent set of spot lights, but where to mouint them. (Don't forget that below about 24 inches - the law quotes mm these days - they can only be used in falling snow or fog)

people are getting confused here... hid stands for High Intesity Discharge
this means one thing...... expensive... no amount of rhubarb about "i can get some that are just bulbs" or theyre only £40 is gonna change the fact that.... they are realy realy expensive...
the way they work is to spark an arc of electricity accros a gaseus space, usualy filled with xenon gas, (hence the term xenon bulbs, again a different technology)
the arc occurs at arround 10,000V....to get to this figure they require a Ballast, this ballast coverts the 12V @600A to 10,000V at 1 amp....ish
if you get the chance to seesome come on, they will flash first then warm up.,..
they can wear out the same as an electric arc welder does...just longer..
and no the blue bulbs arent the same.....:glance:
