Spot Lights!
« on: August 25, 2011, 18:01:06 PM »
Hi fella's, want ur opinion on an idea! Won't be long now and the dark evenings will mean I won't be able to see jack! HID's under scrutiny by dvla and sounds quite complex to fit so was thinking of mounting black mesh at lower air intake on bumper with spots hidden behind.  Nothing too Saxo-ish! Any one already done this? Any pics please? ;)

Hey,

HID's are very easy to fit, no cutting of electric wires etc. They simply plug into your old headlight connectors and tada, bright lights. Remove for MOT and job done ;)

Get HID's and swap for MOT. You will not regret it.

you could also fit some relays with decent wiring - rather more fiddling about but at least you won't need to swap things around for tests.
