well, after 3 hours in the auto electricians today, and them removing £140 for the pleasure, i have tested out the lights tonight.
now, 1st impressions are, they are amazingly bright, compared to what i used to have. once fitted the instructions say to keep them on for at least 15mins, so i was driving about in the sunshine with a smile on my face with my new HID's on. all i could think about was... can the oncoming traffic tell i have fancy lights on?? sad?? yep.
obviously i couldn't wait until dark and although i'm recovering from an operation, i made an excuse to "go for a run".
TBH - not as good as i had hoped. the road is definately brighter, but the distance is not as good as i had hoped, so i think it needs to be adjusted on one of those machines the MOT guy's use to check for beam height etc. so i'll get that done tomorrow hopefully.
anyway, here are some pics...
1st, with just the new dipped lights on:
now with the main beam on too:
i hope that once i have the adjustment done then it'll be better. if thats the best it'll be, then, £70 - odd for the kit plus the fitting isn't worth it.
let me know your thoughts guys.
