[Jack]

I still have yet to see a beam pattern of them in a Nova headlamp lol

Here's mine in the old bumper (same lamps now in the QC front panel), albeit not OEM headlamps

^ note lack of flare on around the headlights. Here's a pic that compares them to halogens:

...as you can see, the HID beam isn't as glaring as the halogen! Never been flashed etc, beam pattern is ace in them. They're not strictly legal in that application though, depending on your interpretation of EU regulations... lol

get some osram nightbreaker's bulbs they are really good can get them on ebay for about £15-£20 depending on who's selling them.

But you cant MOT your own car!!

[Jack]

Its not so much whether or not it passes an MOT, its just courtesy to other drivers. Plus, whats to stop an oncoming car being blinded by your lights and swerving into you? Thats not a HID thing though, same goes for halogens... I have a real bee in my bonnet aboutmisaligned headlights lol

Not just you. I thought about buying some HID's for mine. After searching about i decided against it.

[General Baxter]

if any one has some H7's they want rid pm me :p

Theres nothing to see lol
Its just a big spread of light all over which way your car's pointing. I had a look in the beam tester when my old white one got MOT'd (it failed on hids btw lol), and there is no beam, just the whole light boxed filled with light.

Ive noticed that you can tell easily which cars have proper xenon headlamps as standard, and reflector lamps with a hid kit fitted whenever you pass them on the road. They just look completely different/wrong.

Since when?

[Bamo]

Since when?

yh you can lol :p but not done my mot corse yet and i thinking against hid now and get a 1.6 lump instead:thumb:

[Saloony]

I know... feck all in the rules saying you cant.

If you found a hid kit with a suitable light output there would be no reason why it couldnt work, most just buy what ever is there instead of taking into account that the headlights arent designed for them so to be able to work properly you need a lower output instead of the highest rating that most go for. Jack is a fine example, he has them on the Celica, and that runs complex lenses, in theory it shouldnt work, but it does, i know i Mot the bloody thing.
