I believe that after-market HID kits will become MOT fails shortly. When fitted as standard they have automatic, constant self levelling systems fitted to prevent blinding on-coming drivers, this cannot be retro fitted so apparantly aftermarket kits will be banned in the near future.

They are MOT fails now.

Yep.

When I had HiDs, they failed the MoT, due to poor beam pattern on main beam. For a while I changed the bulbs over for the MoT, until I built and installed an uprated wiring loom so there is no volt drop at the bulbs. Add better bulbs and I get similar performance that I used to get with the HiDs, but with less hassle.

Hey tintin, took your advice & got a pair of the halfords bulbs today & must admit they are alot brighter than the standard ones.

Quite pleased really.

Which halfords did you go to? The one on meadow lane has a firm called sewells behind it they are a lucas/bosch agent sell lamps about a third of the price of halfords.

I got the brighter ones from Halfords and when I was in I found some nice waterproof ABS constructed spotlights, wired into highbeam they are very good for offroading at night or driving those dark country lanes. Got an nice LED halo effect too, wired this into sidelights.

The low profile means they can mount onto the top of bumper.

Nice one.

Im not a halo lover really "oh err" but they do look quite good.

Your sidelights would look better with the bright white LED's though.

How much were the spot lights?

I got my bulbs from lidl's cost £3.99 there 50% brighter with a nice whiteness to them.Had them in the Impreza for 2 years as well.

How much were the spot lights?

£70 for the pair, still going strong after a couple of years worth of mud hammering and jetwashing. Brackets getting a wee bit tatty but east to strip and refurb.

Suppose so but I went for function only, the halos were an add on I really didn't require.
