None as they fail the mot and can get you a hefty fine now.

If your looking for a good clean bright light then go for some ozram night brakers.

If your going to go for hid's then go for the warm white light rather than the blue's as they will draw less attention to you.

yeah was part of the mot start of this year if you have them you must have washers for the lights and automatic height adjusters for it to pass

Wouldn't recommend crashing with those on, no matter who's at fault, if it can be proven might've had 0.00001% chance to do with it, then you're fucked mate.

i would take what folks on here say with a pinch of salt really,

aslong as you get them adjusted properly so they dont blind everyone, and they arent too blue (in that case id recommend 6k) you should be alright with the old bill

i havent been stopped in 4 years of having them, even when i was stopped they didnt mention them. They have recently become not mot passable, but it takes a couple minutes switching the bulbs around tbh

Anyways - i find 6k hids to be a million times better than the shit dim standard yellow ones. Ive never been flashed for dazzling oncoming drivers either

they are a nice white colour, blue looks chavvy
