FYI any HID conversion on a road car is illegal.
Retrofit HID bulbs kits.
In the UK with the governments publishing of "The Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations" of 1989
these kits were made illegal to use on the public road. It is an offence to use such kits on the road. For the latest regulations visit the governments Department For Transports home page www.dft.gov.uk And more on the European commissions website www.unece.org According to the police the maximum fine for having these fitted to a road vehicle in the UK is £2500. Also if such a kit is found to be a factor in any incident on the road you can be held liable and end up with a limitless fine and limitless time in jail. These kits are also banned in the rest of Europe, Hong Kong, US and most of the rest of the world.
