Without self-levelling and washers, and a correctly designed projectors/reflectors just about all aftermarket HID kits are illegal and should fail an MOT.

Philips Extreme +80% are superb, if they're not available in the correct fitting try Osram Nightbreakers +90%'s.

If you can get General Electric GE+ 60% go for these.
A friend has just tried both the Osram and the Philips Extreme and gone back to the GE.
I understand from Alcazar these are the same bulbs sold by Halfords in the gold packaging at half the price.
