Bought an H7 HID kitr recently to fit to the 500...

Anyone done this already? Any electrical problems (like warning lights/bulb errors)?

Does the additional heat cause problems with the headlight lens or other parts?

Thanks!

Shouldn't be any additional heat.

Let me know how you get on with this (maybe even a half & half pic to show the difference) as our 500 is being registered for 1st March.

1.4 Lounge, BossaNova white, red and ivory leather, ivory ambiance, skydome, 16" multispokes, red centres and calipers, rear window tint, italian wing badges, italian 500 badge on the side rubbing strips and chrome bonnet stripe. Oh, and mud flaps.

Phew...I think that is it

Sounds like ours! (except we didn't go for leather)
