purchased 3 kits in total off this guy now.

slimline 55w kits inc bulbs, ive got 6k main beam and 10k high beam

he sent the wrong bulbs first time (h7 when i needed h1) but he sent out the new bulbs pronto.

been tempted to install these on my pf but would it be better to fit HID to pf headlights or get fl headlights and install them on a pf?

would installing HID on main beam and high beam or just the main beam be recommended?

Only install HID on low beam, otherwise your ability to 'flash' your headlights will disappear due to the time it takes for them to fire! The bi-xenon headlights on later cars get around this by having a standard bulb purely for flashing, which also comes on in tandem with the xenons when running on main beam (bi-xenon effectively involves a flap that moves to raise or lower the beam, rather than switching 2 bulbs).

Better to fit the HID to the PF lights.. although the FL lights will just 'drop in', you then need to change the rest of the front end to get rid of the panel gaps, etc.

thanks

so can put HID on the two projection lights and leave the normal lens bulb for high beam and if they are adjusted correctly the law wont know any differant.
if i wanted to put fog lamps in the bottom grill of the bumper i need to replace the bumper with a fl bumper will i need to change the headlights to fl or can i keep the pf headlights?
im just trying to think ahead before i decide to do one thing and later on it causes more work.

A facelift bunper will bolt straight up but will leave a gap under the bonnet grill that extends about an inch either side under the lights.
