H.I.D. Anyone?

And this justifies performing a mod that is dangerous to all road users and reduces distance vision at night? You might justify it that way but it doesn't change that these mods are selfish and stupid.



?????? The OEM bulbs are good quality but this has nothing to do with performance. The OEM bulbs are made for long life not performance, if you bothered to read the links I posted they explain in detail why performance bulbs have a reduced lifespan and offer light output figures.

Geez, chill!

I have watched a few youtube clips myself. And put "performance" bulbs in my old cars before...

And I was simply expressing my de-sensitised, as oppose to your strong emotions towards those "stupid and illegal mods"

I have seen some pretty ill-informed comments before but to say that an illegal $100 HID reflector conversion is superior to an engineered factory fitted bi-xenon setup with projectors is ridiculous at best.

Unlike the back yard job the merc/bmw factory bi-xenons have to meet standards, have to produce useful light, not blind other road users, have self leveling, a cleaning system and the list goes on.

Well that's for sure one very silly comment,
I'm sure you didn't mean it. What Maverick said to you in the post above, explains you why. Keep in mind that fitting not ADR approved light anywhere on the outside of the car will make your car unroadworthy.
