marc novataken Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ideally I wanted to fit some HID lights to the escort but cant really justify spending that sort of money on bulbs tbh. But a mate has some Xenon bulbsthat look pretty much the same, very bright, blue/white and looks good. Anyone have any idea what the best bulbs would be?

shawdreamer Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Ive allways opted for the bulbs over the full kits, aslong as you dont get to ahead of yourself and buy the stupid bright ones you can get away with it (you'll find that the bulbs are all marked "for show use only") you allways get some chav sticking the silly bright ones in his punto then wondering why he's blinding every other driver and the MOT station examiner laughs at him as he fails his car. as said the kits are soon to see cars failing MOT's and only an idiot would chance it anymore.
