HID headlamps

[glynedwards]

Anyone thought about better headlamps?
Can you get self levelling aftermarket HID's?

Glyn,

I think you will find they are illegal if not std fitment.

Doesn't say they are not legal but in practice it may have the same effect, if there are no e-marked headlamp assemblies with self levelling built in.

There is a lot on other forums (fora) about this and :

Its a bust. Can't currently be done in a legal way. Close the thread.

go to Philips Clear Blue White H4 bulbs. Best you can legally do.

I use these on my motorbike. Definite improvement over the originals.

Chris at the 7 workshop used to do an integrated headlamp+indicator mashup, using LEDs.

Which were really quite bright, but think there was a problem with voltages or something, but maybe worth investigating ?
