Are you talking about replacing the headlight units for whole new halogen units or just the bulbs?

 

[Trophy264]

just the bulbs hoolio
the xenon look would be cool but, effort!!
and expense. so im sticking with the chavy blue/white look.

Ok not HID then.

Try Phillips Extreme power from this bunch;http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/bulb_finder.asp?cat1=39&make_id=32&model_id=294&year_id=1030&bulb=6

Oh yeah H1 and H7

sorry my bad.
not the headlight unit (i.e the Full Fat 182's, balast and washers and everything else)
but HID's the ones with like a charger pack (6000k), and stuff, sorry did i confuse you, i didnt mean budget painted blue bulbs from Halfords already did that in the 1.2 when i was 17.

HID4U I think they are called - you pay for what you get! I know a few who have bought from ebay and failed after a few weeks/months.

Not a big fan, have you tried just upgrading the bulbs as above, you'll be suprised at the difference and you'll save a wad of cash.

Just buy these: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=154

Nice blue colour, look like HIDs for a fraction of the price.

its not really the look am after its just the fact there so much brighter!
thinking bright white rather than chavy blue but i realise its not to everyones taste.
