Gwr vr6 10 Posted March 4, 2015 Are they any good on the corrado as the standard lights are well , rubbish . I had some on an old type r subaru but they wouldn't allow high beam ( think it was a cheap kit ) is it a worth while mod or not worth the cost and effort ? Did look to see if this has been posted before . Also if a decent upgrade anyone recommend a kit cheers folk . Seen a couple of kits on fleebay at around 35 nikka , can't see them Being any good at that price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 4, 2015 They're illegal unless you have a headlight wash facility. They'd need changing out at MOT time to avoid failure. My recommendation, and for around the same price as a cheap ebay HID kit, would be to buy an uprated headlight loom available on here. Makes a massive difference, and no cutting of wires needed like you would with cheap HIDs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 4, 2015 Headlight loom and better bulbs. The bright white bulbs are crap in the rain, the yellower looking bulbs don't look as bright but are better in the rain. Don't ask me why, it's just what I found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted March 4, 2015 Hate to go against the grain here but I have HIDs in my car and I love them! I do have a very friendly MOT man so that's never been an issue and from what I've been told by mates they look great in the rear view mirror as well.

Gwr vr6 10 Posted March 4, 2015 Cheers Sean appreciated , didn't realise about the mot bit either tbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted March 4, 2015 HID's are grate and all my cars have/had them. No issues so far at MOT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 4, 2015 Forgot, they must also be self levelling as well. Friendly MOT testers may let you get away with it. All factory fitted HID or Xenon systems over 2k must have the above, as if they're dirty or poorly aligned, can cause dazzle to other motorists. I've lost count of the times I've swore at oncoming traffic due to being dazzled by these monstrosities. I hate them with a passion, especially when fitted to SuV's. :censored: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 5, 2015 I hate these things myself! 95% must be fitted incorrectly which tars the remaining few who go to the effort of fitting them properly. Proper HID's are for use with projector lights as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate them with a passion, especially when fitted to SuV's. :censored: agree also & even more so in my lowered VR as their chelsea tractor lights are as high as my wing mirrors! however, i do seem to get my own back kind of as since teaming up the uprated headlight loom with ring xenon max bulbs it is now me that gets flashed even when on dipped beam (nevermind full beam lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 14 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) So a headlight loom upgrade with xenon bulbs is fully legal . And does t cost the earth and I do t have to Harry the hatchet my light loom ?? yes m8 though the name of the ring bulbs is 'xenon ultima' they are not a true xenon headlight that you find in modern cars. i think they just have xenon gas in them that said they are superb & a 'night & day' difference over & above standard bulbs (forgive the punn lol) Edited March 5, 2015 by g0ldf1ng3r Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
