    Default Headlights

    Hi ive got a HID kit fitted to my nova is there any way of stopping the internals of the light unit from burning up causing the beam image to be incorrect when the car has its MOT.

    Take them out and put the correct H4 bulbs back in.
    I hate these crappy ebay HID specials, 9 times out of 10 they blind oncoming motorists, like me.
    Hopefully they won't pass an MOT.

    Hid arnt design for old headlights.

    Old headlights its the glass that makes the beam patten, on hids its the bulb and holder that makes the patten.
    So youll have both trying to make a patten, hence why they wont make the correct patten and wont pass a mot.
    The will be very bright from the front tho as the beam will be all over the place and prob shine to high too.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
