HID conversations
 
Hi everyone,
My new 75 came with halogen projectors and even though I've fitted brighter bulbs the light output of them is pathetic and since winter is coming I would like to upgrade to HIDs. Any ideas what kits would fit the 75 and not throw any errors.
Regards,
Thanos

Thanks for your replies,
No the lenses are perfectly clear, I don't know how this kit would fit in the projectors because they have the twist on clip rather than the spring clip on the standanrd headlights. I wouldn't go any higher than 6000k it gets too blue for my liking anyway.
Regards,
Thanos

Hi Ron. Have you got these? How long have you had them fitted? Do they fit ordinary halogen headlights? MK one?

Hi David, wouldn't recommend them for halogen reflector lights as the pattern on the glass diffuses the light and scatters it every where. Fine for projectors though, MK1 & facelift:cool:
I have factory xenons fitted :cool:

Just note unless your mot garage ignores them fitting a hid kit to halogen projectors is now an mot failure. Better to get some factory xenon headlights and fit them.

If you look in my forum shop you'll see the headlight upgrades i offer including the xenon quad projectors which offer the maximum light output possible with quad xenon projectors as the dipped beams.

So the quad HID conversion I've been planning for my Mk2 will/might fail the MOT?

What's your experience (re. MOT) with the HID kits/conversions you sell?
