Im not sure if its the write forum area. Remove if necessary.

I have a KIA Rio 2014 with standard reflector housings with halogen bulb. Id like a HID or Led bulb. I know theres a HID reflector version but i dont trust them with the beam going everywhere as ive seen.

Id like to install a aftermarket projector. They have clean cut offs and look better too. I cant find anyone in the West Midlands who does this. The process involves removing the headlight housing. I know how to do it but domt trust myselfsmile

Does anyone know a good garage that does this type of work?

Thanks in advance.

There are some company I follow on FB that I can't remember the name of who do a lot of this stuff on VW/Audi stuff. Might be worth a look. I tend to do it all myself.

How is that even relevant? It might not be worth much in terms of money, but experience is invaluable.
