    Saw these today > H4 retrofit projector lights.

    really wanting to get HID's. dont want to put them into reflectors. considered getting ebay bora projectors...

    saw this today and just about creamed my pants

    I had previously seen a video where a guy used a bmw reflector to retro fit into a bora housing. this involved heavy dremel action and tbh looked like a pain in the arse.

    in short too much hassle.

    Considering doing this mod with the glass units on dylans co-op

    I think the video below is H1 bulb, but the h4 should be same as it gives you spacing rings for both

    Nah it's for the lame colours I cannot lie.
    But I will be going with the colour with no blue. Just a brilliant white light
