No I typed, I wasn't talking, hence my comment over CS intelligence levels.
And Gerkin, Post 11, going the opposite way that your are now.

So you've resorted to being a smart arse because you were wrong about the lights? Good move there

No read my other post and look at the link from one of the Largest Car Light Bulb websites in the UK and Find me an Actual Xenon Bulb that isn't HID. They do not exist, no one has come back about that remarkably.

Feirny How am I? They are not Xenon bulbs?
Yes, you're obviously proving that they have.
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...productId_1000047_langId_-1_categoryId_165538 oops sorry, Halfords not reputable now?
Look, you're wrong stop making yourself look silly.

You need to learn to read mate.
The Halfords Xenon HID Style Headlight Bulb offers safety as well as style on the road with 4000k of white light for a ‘Xenon Look’.
they are NOT XENON BULBS!

They do exist. Standard filament bulbs are halogen gas filled, but recently xenon gas filled bulbs have become available. Xenon is an inert gas and allows the bulb to run cooler than halogen gas does. This allows the bulbs to run brighter without running any hotter. These are still legal to run in reflector lenses and they still come in various fitting like H1, H7 etc.
HID bulbs on the other hand still have xenon gas in them but the gas itself is ignited and it is this that gives off the light, not a filament

Such an idiot my god, I'll paste the descripton of the Ebay add, if this isn't Saying they contain Xenon I don't know what is.
XENON BULBS ICE BLUE HID SET INCLUDES:
2 X ICE BLUE (6500K) H1 55 Watt Main (high) beam bulbs
2 X ICE BLUE (6500K) H7 55 Watt Dipped (driving) beam bulbs
and a pair of ICE White sidelight bulbs
The ICE BLUE Xenon headlight bulbs gives a superb white light with a very distinctive blue tint to give your car that modern HID look without any of the cost!
The double blue filter reduces the yellow light emitted from the headlights whilst the XENON gas allows the bulb to burn considerably brighter to produce up to 50% more usable light on the road than a normal halogen gas filled bulb yet consume the same power!
All of our bulbs are made from Quartz glass for plastic lens compatibility.
it's not correct, they cannot contain Xenon.

Take a second to reread the thread, I think you've got your wires crossed somewhere, as there's a few of us in agreement and you're sat the other side of the fence.
Nothing at all. Just ignore Harbringer as he doesn't know what hes on about. The ones on ebay are perfectly legal and I've had them for around two years with no issues at all

No the guy has asked about Led lights originally, I suggested Xenon, he posted the Ebay ad with HID bulbs, but fit standard fitment and filled with Xenon Gas, so the advert is complete crap, they cannot be HID and standard fitment or not filled with Xenon but just tinted, I then said HID in relector lights are illegal, everyone else then attacks, I fail to see how I am wrong here, so fact is.
HID kits are illegal when not fitted the way the factory intended them to be.
The Ebay advert is complete Crap
HID lightbulbs ( Xenon Bulbs, not Xenon LOOK ) will not fit in a regular light fitting without the proper and illegal kit.
MOT is irrelevant to having them fitted as long as aligned.
See if ECP sell them.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
you clearly are stupid or cannot read, I've already posted this, Halford = Not Xenon, Ebay= Xenon but illegal due to only fitting in a reflector lamp.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Yes they are, they are just blue halogen bulbs.
Yeah mate they're absolutely fine. So are the eBay ones you linked.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
I fail to see how they are the same, Halfords one say Xenon Look, they are a halogen bulb with blue tint.
the Ebay ones are HID Xenon Bulbs ( as posted ), No one on Earth can explain that any better, unless you want me to make a video for you and use crayons and paper to try?
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Did you not read the HID part of the Ebay advert?
So now, because people have not understood what you were ranting on about in an obscure way, you're resorting to insulting people. Your posts weren't as clear cut as you think they were.
Stop being an idiot.
Yep
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Try that link I posted a few pages back, they are quite good and have the Blue Xenon Look and they are cheaper than halfrauds and won't insult you by asking if you need help fitting them, which I'd like to try and see if they do on a 182 for £6.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
So please explain how they are the same and the part that HID's in fact illegal in reflector lamps?
Piece of piss.
Post #51. The eBay advert might state they're HID bulbs, but they're just HID look bulbs
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Sorry Feirny, I'm not actually trying to be a c**t at all to be honest, All I was trying to explain to the OP was that HID's are illegal and can cause you untold grief, which as a new driver is something you want to avoid, I'm sure everyone in the thread can appreciate that.
So, I'll try once more and be clear as I can, HID " kit " in the Ebay advert = Illegal ( seller does not say they are legal for road use in a reflector lamp, and terms of Emarking will apply where the car is permitted to have them out of the factory), the image is not what you will receive, says so in the sellers conditions, it's a generic image, maybe that caused confusion to some.
Halfords ones, Just Halogen bulbs, perfectly fine to use.
Getting annoyed constantly misspelling Bulbs now so I'm off.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Drivers side? If you have a guide on how to without taking the bumper off I'd love to see it.
I'm back as you need correcting.
The linked bulbs in post #4 or whatever are NOT HID's and is certainly not a HID kit (these cost around £30-£45).
THEY ARE HID LOOK, NOT HID's
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Get smaller hands. I can do it
I really can't, I almost ripped the AC pipe off in a fit of rage trying, 1hr later they were done though.
Fiesta ST2 MP215
Are you basing this on the image though? Read my other post, the image you see is not what you're going to get, it's a generic image.
