HIDs for the win!! It's all bull about HIDs failing an MOT! I've fitted them to all my past cars and NEVER been picked up on by a tester!! In fact, I've just fitted a set to my Supra and took it straight to my MOT station specifically to get the beam patterns checked...spot bollock perfect!!

 

Go for 4300k. Best light output without being blinding to others. You'll need HB3 bulbs then slightly modify the 'ears' on the holder. I can massively recommend Lightec Autostyle. So, so helpful.

Was toying with HIDs but I think they are now MOT fails, plus can't be bothered swapping them over every year lol. Thanks johnny will give them a whirl!

 

From what I've seen/read they are a fail on cars without "projector" style headlamps like Supra's.

They TECHNICALLY should have projectors, auto levellers and washers but I have never ever heard of a tester that's failed a car for not having the afore mentioned. As long as beam patterns are good, they'll pass.

 

Fitting wise, could not be easier! It's all plug and play, no wiring required!! I've fitted at least 15 kits so am pretty experienced and have tried several different suppliers and Lightec wins hands down on both quality and service. If anyone gets stuck with fitting HIDs, just PM me and I'll give you my number to call me. Likewise, anyone local to me is more than welcome to pop round for a helping hand.
