had a handful to do to make it ok for road use. basically the beam will shine everywhere.

what i've done is got a headlamp leveler consisting of motors to each headlamp, loom and switch with leveler adjuster. cost me £50. normally sold with fog lamps.

you will also need to remove the dip / dim resistor or just unplug it. located in front of the drivers side wheel, behind the arch liner if you have em.
mines covered with bit of dirt. (yellow circle)


before and after conversion.

what you need to bear in mind is to keep the front of the lamp clean. if you leave a build up of dirt there, you could risk melting your headlamp.

fitting is fine btw. jst fiddley with ballast locations.

Oh, i think it is a bit fiddly! i think i'll have to go for the aftermerket headlights after all!! i really dont like the look of them, but it is just plug and play as they are projectors!!

Wish it was just plug n play!!

Bummer!

I like the look and performance of HIDs, but I opted to go with a set of H4 Sylvania Silverstars for my in.pro smoked headlights instead.
