better headlights - is ther a hid conversion?

[magpies]

as title really

I've looked for a projector conversion but cannot find one for the 7" round as they work best with hid - I think the standard h4 does not have the correct beam pattern and can'annoy' other road users

just looked and answered my own question

Just a warning shot that I think some new MOT rules being considered that will check for HID conversions on older cars, making them a fail. (I dont know the time scales however) You would be better off with the Osram night breakers halogens or the like, they are pretty good and legal.

If you fit HIDs im sure you have to have lamp washers fitted.

Officialy I think it's headlamp washers and self levelling headlamps. Ive had them fitted in my last 2 cars and never had a problem with police or mot but mine are adjusted so not to dazzle like you see others. Think it will be a wait and see with the new rules to see if there enforced properly

[magpies]

Must admit properly adjusted is very high (no pun intended) on my list as hate being dazzled.

I have them in my old A4 and dips and are superb - I had tried all available 'normal' lamps and non were any good including 100watt

Last year, following a thread posted on PH, I replaced my headlight bulbs with Halfords Extreme Brilliance bulbs.

At the time they were 2 for 1, so got a pair for £19.99.

Amazing improvement over the originals.

I was going to do the Lupo conversion, but frankly now I don't feel it is necessary.
