Default HID lights

Hi sorry if it's in wrong place!!

I have morrete style lights on my scoob sport and they are rubbish! I might answel light candles in them! Is it legal/mot friendly if I put a HID light kit in to brighten it up and maybe see where I am actually going?

Cheers

Snook

Fitting aftermarket HIDs is illegal unless the headlights are designed for them mate.

Decent bulbs ( not ebay) specials in sti lights would suit and work well, aftermarket hid should fail an mot unless the car is brought upto the same spec as vehicles sold with hid's ie... Self levelling suspenion and headlight washers, you also need a lense to focus the light beem to prevent a scatard pattern. I know people that have the ebay ones and still pass but I'm sure if vosa was present then they wouldn't

The driving lights I have fitted are still available for yours, but you may have to search.
