Thinking about getting an HID kit for the car, What do i need to know before i start spending?

Laws, fitting advice, brands to avoid ect.


Cheers, Dave

go with the system from the E30zone! Demlotcrew is the man to speak to, expensive but the best option, most kits on ebay are utter sh!te and u will be better of with normal E30 candles!

Its Demlots car that has got me thinking about it. his looked soo cool at lakeside.

Better start selling my ass then.

i've got them too and well worth it imo. They are currently on my pina but come end of this month it's off the road so they will go on my auto for winter so i can see where i am going! i can't cope without them!

[d6dph]

So are Demlots kits legal? and whats the lifespan of the bulbs as they are quite expensive i hear?

Thanks for your help Simon

[Simon13]

the lifespan is indefinate and if they break u send them off to whoever made them and they send new ones, it's very rare for them to blow tbh. I think they are over £100 each if u want to buy proper xenon bulbs, they are massive too!

u need by law headlamp wash wipe and electtic adjusters, not alot of MOT places know this. My old sport passed it's mot no prob with them on. But they are adjusted nicely so they didn't blind people. I had to adjust them again after i lowered it 60/40 they were pointing to the floor lol

So if i retrofit intensive wash/wipe i should get away with it then?

Looks like i need a chat with Demlot and to strat saving my pennies.

[Simon13]

well all sports had it fitted as standard. Mine worked but it made the front end look too fussy so i removed it before i had the xenons fitted!

U should be fine as it will be done properly and such a good mod that most on here dismiss as too much money.

Especially as E30 lights are so f**king poor. I reckon a new Kia golf kart probably has better lights i'd go as far to say they border on dangerous!

Have a chat with big D and he will tell u all the in's and out's u need to know

[d6dph]

Cool cheers for your help. I'll go and harrass Demlot now!

Ps, my cars not a sport its a crossdresser!

[Simon13]

looks like one, headlamp wash wipe blows anyway!

Easily the best kit out there. Quality has a price!

There are cheaper alternatives like APS (not ebay crap) which are very good but not quite as good.

I will be getting an APS one very soon for testing to see how good it is.
