lol

i dont know what else to say, i dunno if im mising the point or anything but i think now ill go get ready for work, 5 hours on the pc is killing of my brain cells, cant make heads or tails of anything??

Ok, all it is we have a prominent member on here who gets a bit upset when people post up these kits. especially if you mention that they may be legal you however never so you may escape with your torso.  :laugh:
there were many heated debates over these kits none of which ended with all parties feeling happy.
Pop yourself off to work and dont worry, I think he is trying a new approach on this site so we shall see how it goes.  :chicken:

thanks steve.. i had a quick browse through and it looks like somebody was catching feelings over the hid kit from italy or something plus relevant legal advice is very helpfull  :happy2:

they are illegal, full stop. they wouldnt pass an mot if i left them in mine i know that for sure.
i always drive with them on the lowest headlamp level so they dont blind people (duno if they do) but i do consider other road users

i guess ill have to make sure my next car does come with factory xenon as i couldnt bare the thought of going back to yellow lights.

topcat.. think i will pop myself off to work, i sense some feelings.. hope i have not upset anybody

I thought about upgrading these too but as you quite rightly point out, I never use em! I think I've used the one's in my ED30 once!
