I'm after some HID's and after having gone through the various HID threads, I'm still undecided. I want minimal warming up time and ones that don't switch off when you flash someone! Also they have to be a significant improvement on the standard yellow candles I have at the moment.

I don't mind paying top dollar for them either (I'm guessing £150 should be adequate) so if anyone knows of any HIGH quality, long lasting durable kits then please provide a link/more info.

Thanks again!

They may pass the MOT, but the tester is just checking beam alignment. Does not mean they are or make them legal.
