I ran them in morrettes in one of my old cars. 6k. blinding when it was following you but did give good light.
never got pulled but to be honest they were clearly blinding so probably just lucky to get away with it

i have had mine for a good 5 or 6 month now only been pulled once for them and that was on x-mas eve when they probably had nothing better to do, i have just left them in and never had any more bother again, i was told if i got cought with them again it is a 30 quid fine iirc

it might not be worth buying them soon as there is a new mot due to start which states any car with hids/xenon lights that are not factory fitted will fail.

People install HID's but don't actually think to adjust the headlights once they are in.
The characteristics to HID's are completely different to Halogens, you can bang on about legality all day long but you won't be blinding people if you have the lights set up correctly.
Go to an MOT Test Centre once they are set up and ask them to set them up correctly for you, it won't cost more than a tenner and will benefit oncoming drivers and your view of the road at night.

Mine have been set up properly but they scatter the light so much it still shines in peoples faces

I'm running mine in Morettes (6000k ones) and had my first long drive at night with them fitted yesterday - they are aimed correctly too - but, I felt I had a better light output with them fitted to my Depos than the Morettes if i'm honest...
