Are HID's Worth it?

[Sigorman85]

If I knew how to fit them :-S and take them out I would

[lfcrule1972]

Are you planning to fit the HID kit yourself ?

[Sigorman85]

Yes im sure its not that complicated I'm a engineer so I'm
Sure I will be fine :-s lol

I don't bank on this by the way so no quotes later on lol

^ Yeah I'm with you Jimbo, if they came with the car they're setup correctly, the dazzly ones appear to be aftermarket additions in the most part.

[Sigorman85]

Found some for a ds3 with adjustment :-p I do things properly by the way I hate cutting corners OCD precision engineer I can't help it

[lfcrule1972]

Fair enough, will you post a guide as to what you do to install and set them up ?

[Sigorman85]

Yes will do when I find the correct ones as there are somany I'm after h7. 6000k but not sure if I need the h7r???

[lfcrule1972]

Nice one, guides like that with pics and instructions will be helpful for anyone else considering the same mod, you could also include a link to the HID's you used etc...

This kit is not canbus compatible and all cars in the title have been carefully selected and do not have a canbus wiring system. Please check our other listings for canbus compatible kits. Canbus is basically error reporting. If you car tells you when a bulb has blown then normally your car has canbus.
