So I was looking for some new lightbulbs, mine are ok just fancy something brighter.

 

And a mate suggested something like this

 

Would anybody recommend for or against this?

 

I'm guessing they are not road legal?

 

thanks ;) 

There are some MOT regs when it comes to HID bulbs- Gambit posted a load of info in one of the threads - cant remember which one but I do remember something about the requirement for self levelling and a screen wash being functional.

 

That being said it will probably be down to your MOT chap / chapess if they pass it or not - I do know people with HID kits on bikes and dont have any problems but again it is down to where they take it for an MOT

I think Jays memory is pretty good and I'm more impressed if you have had a few drinks a remembered that think you was spot on on all aspects with regards to the MOT. And i'm not sure where the post is myself now :D   

hic one or two under the yard arm sailor :P

Guilty as charged... hic ....Sir! :D

i had a good think, I decided that whilst I would like some decent lights. I'll pass for now.

 

Will just get some decent light bulbs instead

Try these worked really well in mine and they are a lot cheaper than a HID conversion kit, passed MOT as well :)

 

check the fitment though as these are a HB3 bulb

thanks Jay, I notice that they are 100w bulbs. Would this not damage the projector light? or draw too much power?

I didnt have any issues running the 150W ones in mine

 

however here is a high quality 55W option - a little steeper in price though
