yes HIDs are best but
HIDS = PROJECTORS so do all other drivers a favour & change your headlights as well  :drinking:

 :happy2: Well done for asking - alot of ppl don't

HID kits in reflector style headlamps is illegal and will surely fail your MOT.

Either do it properly with the  OEM stuff or as per my footer link.

Fitting the kit is like a 5 minute job. Getting the bumper off and lights out is the time consuming bit
