Im not suggesting it won't be, I fully intend on doing it my self once someone has made a total moron proof guide for me to follow

You could do it with your eyes closed lol

I've just been sPeaking to carmodshop, If the lamps need the d2s bulb then we just need to buy the d2s connectors for connecting to my original ballasts that I already have That's if our have an existing kit, otherwise you need to buy the kit

Cheers for that, I'll just get a set of bulbs then from them

I'm still wondering why there is such a price difference between the chrome surround lights and the black ones though. £110 vs £199 - any ideas anyone?

I'll wait and see what they work like when fitted by another member before buying them, but it's looking promising.

One thing that is concerning me though is whether the motors for the normal lamps are compatible with the xenon units.

No, you might be able to lol. Whilst I on the other hand am pretty much useless :(, I could do it but will take for ever.

Xenon's used to be exclusive, now every **** will have them... Sigh! :(

I'll sell you my old lamps then

Also how will the black inners look on a silver fab? Will it look stupid?

Should have kept quiet

Also, if you glue the washer covers on, come mot time the tester might check wether they work. If you dont have them, they cant be tested

If the HID's are fitted and the washers don't work, then you fail!!

Do you want that?

Washers (lights) dont work all the time though, so how will they test them? Sit and spray the washers for ages?

The washers wont work because they wont be there, so they cant be tested. If the caps are there they would expect them to work because they would assume they are fitted. All that will happen is they'll check that the headlights are aligned properly. I really cant see the tester going through every car with a fine tooth comb! Only time will tell, but ill just swap back to my old ones if need be

Mine haven't come yet they didn't get them in stock until Tuesday.

Really hope they will be here for Friday.

I don't have an hid kit though :(

I suggest furby-le you have a talk to an MOT tester about what they will be checking from January

with the mot garage that i use, lets just say i'll have no problems

I had wrote a reply but my battery went. At the end of the day ill do what i want with my car, its not affecting anyone. If it fails it fails, ill take it home swap the headlights and hey-presto....an mot! I too have a very good tester and if he says it will fail ill swap them...... For that day! This arguement has been going on for over 6 months, and as no1 has been for an mot with xenons, its all specualtion and no1 can say wether it will or will not fail. If your an mot tester and want to fail them good on you. They dont blind anyone as they are genuine, it must be better than sticking hids in standard headlights or being a chav driving around with ridiculous bulbs scattering the light everywhere.

well said

+1. I hate HIDS in reflectors as they just scatter and blind everyone, but if they're in projectors and properly setup, why should it really matter if they're not technically legal.

To be fair I have hids in reflector lamps and they don't blind anyone, ive never been flashed at. I've said this before I can honestly say that I get

Blinded by most factory fitted xenons I see,

been looking at hid kits all day and night ( i hate choices ) think the best value are THESE £50, 2 year warranty, error message free on 99% of cars too.

a bloke i spoke to today said i will need bulb holders too? quoted £130 fitted

I've got uprated bulbs and I get flashed a couple of times a week - and they're aligned perfectly just really bright!

I have that HID kit so I'm gunna try get a D2s adaptor to use with them. I'm a bit concerned about this bulb holder though... Anyone got any info on that?

What do you mean by an adapter for them? Think the bulb holders are around a tenner.

Not sure why a bulb holder would be needed? If its the headlight unit that will be holding the bulb. For the likes of my clip I used to have it needed a bulb holder as the hOlder needed to be modified. I don't think we need them in this case, but we will just have to wait to they arrive to get a better idea
