You get good thread title options with HID kits Mine was "HIDing in plain sight", but if it hadn't worked well I'd have called it "On a HIDing to nothing"

Anything useful to add here? No, not so much

Hurry up with the content then I want to see how you do the ballast. Mine is functional but my god, the wiring's criminal. There's about 40 foot of it wedged in where the sidelight would be. And the loom's so nicely made it's a crime to cut it

Just bin out for a run over the hills, dear god they're ace!

High beam is like one of those they strap to police helicopters lol.

Just been out for a rather quick run on some very dark moors with no lights for at least 5 miles, and the performance of these is amazing.

I've adjusted them slightly lower than they would normally be, and have had no flashes from car drivers.
