I feel it necessary to mention that, in the US at least (and I'm pretty sure Europe as well), most HID conversion kits are illegal. A legal HID kit needs to feature self leveling projectors (to avoid dazzeling on-coming drivers), and headlamp washer jets (because HID casts strong shadows if there is stuff on the lens).

yes vedevotee that's very true, it's what the law says but they aren't really applying that legislation yet (at least not in Europe). Anyway I'm gonna try to get some lens for them too. There's been alot of discussions on different forums about the HID kits and law aspects so I'm not gonna go further into it.
al_kaholic do u mean the HID kit or the clear sealed beams? |

The law is present for the UK, however I'm not sure of the enforcement of it too much at the moment.
I'm interested in the clear sealed units |

It is present for new cars, I'm not sure if it applies to retrofits though...

The only place I've seen them listed online is on Mid America Motorworks website. I got them from a friend that had some business in Brasil but it was a one time only deal.

Good morning Xellex, Can you tell me more about your HID set-up? I'm going through the threads and haven't yet stumbled accross what I'm looking for. It appears you have a possible winner. I'm looking to upgrade to HID in my '65 Ghia without changing the fender. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Mahalo, Russ |

What all get's inspected for the MOT? I've heard of people failing because of trivial stuff before.
