Xenon conversions for Wedges

[dixiebabes]

Probably been discussed a thousand times. Just got them for the daily drag and my god what a difference in the dark. Anyone know where, how, or can for the wedge?

Will be illegal so you'll need a freindly MOT garage every year, especially as it will be one of the new 'highlights' for MOT testers to look out for.

Hows that Dave they are the same output as the ones fitted to new Audi's, BMW's etc etc.

Law is you need to have self levelling and head lamp washers for the mot.

You can get DIY kits from the likes of HIDs4U and convert2xenon.com.
Easy enough to fit, reduces the load on the car's existing wiring but all the foregoing applies; supposed to have self-levelling, special reflectors and lenses blah blah blah.

I have them on my bike...

You could always put HIDs in the driving lamps for those odd occasions when you REALLY need to throw a little light at the scenery...

Thats gunna be the plan of attack Ian, Is it easier to change the bulb from the front of the light or from behind?

No idea Jeff, mine haven't worked for most of the time I've had the car! The wiring had been chopped and butchered, I removed the butchery but didn't get round to restoring the original wiring.
What I did was to fit new reflectors and bulbs to the headlights, then made a new wiring loom from thicker cable that takes the current from the battery by the shortest route to the lights rather than three laps of the car as originally wired. The difference is remarkable, I can actually see where I'm going!

[dixiebabes]

Yup that sounds the sensible way. So TVR make sure the do the complete opposite ya gotta love em!.
