It should be legal to kick in the headlamps of any car fitted with HiD if they do not have all the gubbins to go with it.
A hammer is easier, but yes Depending on which bulbs you have, Osram now have a Night Breaker Unlimited Laser and Philips have a Racing Vision, both the latest and brightest.

I have ordered dipped and main beam night breakers.
The night breakers don't come in a side light version so will have to do some research and see what the best one's to go with are. The standard sidelights will be a completely different shade to the night breakers.
I was looking to order a set of Osram Nightbreakers then noticed some info in the sales blurb on ECP which caught my eye:
In order to achieve the improved performance, upgrade bulbs such as Night Breaker Laser have a revised filament geometry and this does inevitably mean some reduction in life. The actual life will be dependent on the operating conditions and in particular the supply voltage
Can anyone on here confirm how long these brighter Night Breaker bulbs last, or not as the case may be, when compared to standard filament bulbs which may well be cheaper?

If they go brighter they must burn hotter to do so, of course they will not last as long.

The good people of PH's,
One of my dipped beam bulbs went earlier on my car and I'm in two minds what to do.
Option 1 - To upgrade all bulbs to Osram Night Breakers.
Option 2 - To buy a cheapish (under £50) HID kit and get someone ti fit it.
What would you do?
Ones legal, one isn't, you have 5 mins to chose the correct answer.One of my dipped beam bulbs went earlier on my car and I'm in two minds what to do.

I had a set of Night Breakers that didn`t manage a year in my old Accord. I replaced them with the Philips alternative (Vision+ I think which were better but more expensive).GTi_ said:

If the car has reflector enclosures not designed to take them, please don't fit HIDs.
This 100%, Don't be a tosser.Regarding nightbreakers etc - they will make some difference but not much - they will "look" much better though with the whiter light
If your car uses W5W sidelight bulbs, these were a good match with mine
