1998 fiesta with hid xenon main and flood lights fitted by yours truely, get looks by people and drivers a lot of the time. Ford puma or mx5 next year.

HID Xenon lights are illegal. The reason you're getting 'looks' from other drivers/pedestrians is that you're most probably blinding them :mad:

1962 Morris Minor when practical. Nil road tax, £80/annum fully comp. insurance with agreed value and full U.K breakdown cover. Totally reliable, parts plentiful and cheap (if necessary), simplicity to maintain and work on.
True moneysaving without the badge snobbery and thankfully 100% un - German!

That post made me Laugh Out Loud :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Not so sure about that, my car has them fitted as standard.

Maybe what you mean is badly adjusted HID Xenon lights are illegal, as are badly adjusted ordinary lights and probably badly adjusted carbide or candle powered lights.

To get back on track a Puma, as we had to get a practical family car.

Hid xenon are not illegal, you need to do your homework. If they are all cars manufactured fitted with these needs to take them off. Sound info by the 2 guys above.

Mine are correctly fitted on projectors....the reason they get the look because I have the brightest available bulb 55w....and my car is old
