Woke up this morning and decided I fancied xenons on my car!

I bet they cost a small fortune!

Anyone on here got any info?

Fanks' :)

Aftermarket HID kit would be your best bet mate.

Alan and Gaz have both done this to a 197

If you want to look like a chav/blind oncoming road users*...:quiet:


*apologies in advance if 197's come with projector lenses as standard.

Hmm bit strong for such a noob...get a clue son eh..oh and next time full fat works a treat ;)

I've got an after market 8000k HID kit, they are set low and the beam pattern is near perfect, more effective than OEM Xenons, DONE.

Still undecided tbh. Their any cutting required or does the kit use OEM compatible connectors?

theres a vast difference between Aftermarket HIDs fitted to MK3s with the cornering headlamps and factory auto leveling HIDs ,have had the wife behind in our 138 with factory option HIDs and its not blinding as they constantly level themselves, theres a Dyn S derv around swansea with the cornering headlamps so look like the standard factory hid without the washers . He/She has aftermarket hids roughly 4300k by the colour , and i have had this eye burner behind me a few times its almost like full beam, lights all the roof lining up in the car. It does look factory thogh i must say apart from when its coming towards you or behind you. reading the above this car i have seen probably has the level switch on zero - normal, dropping them would probably work fine!

I think it all depends on set up like you say tbh, my mates ford explorer has 6000k and they are bloody stupid fire up the road about 100yards on dipped!
