I've fitted some hids to my 1998 dse, sometimes there's fine and work well, other times only one works, and sometimes neither come on! Has anyone else had this?!?!
HID, have i been stupid?

Two options...
Change it back to Halogens
or
Check your wiring for security - HID's require a good trong electrical source to strike the lamp.

Aren't they an MOT fail unless they are E approved and self levelling? I'm sure I read that somewhere. Unless I dreamt it...

The EAS is considered the levelling system...and they do need a working method of cleaning the lens
Somate like that.

Yes, comes in in January. Must have self levelling and must have headlamp washers. And must be working of course.

And must be projector type lenses which the P38 doesn't have !

All in all my first answer to "Have i been stupid"? of "YES" would seem to have some merit.

Indeed !!
I can't moan about them as I did have them fitted to my freelander
But they are a pain in the eyes when your driving towards someone who has retro fitted xenon's !

They are a pain in your eyes when you drive down a street with speed humps or an undulating road when a vehicle equipped with them approaches you, even if they are standard to the car. They will cause a few bloody big pile ups if they have not already.

but for driving at night you cant beat them !
Unless you're not the person driving. Living in Yorkshire there is no such thing as a flat road, so I am currently spending about 90% of my time blinded by the light.

You won't get used to your night vision being ruined by silly lights. Instead we'll just have more night time RTCs when every car you go past wrecks your NV. It gets painful on the eyes in these parts.So once all cars have them we will all get used to them like the halogens

Maybe but they are bloody dangerous for the poor bastard approaching you. Personally i think they should be banned.
