if you have reflector lenses, make sure you use H7R bulbs or you'll be blinding everyone

I fitted in 8000K they look awesome driving but because they are standard lens and not projectors I blind anyone so grab some projects lamps if you can.

if i was blinded by someone from illegal/poorly fitted HIDS, i'd be highly tempted to follow them smash their lights up with my life hammer (those things to smash car windows). why? because the other weekend, an oncoming fiesta was coming to a junction waiting to turn right in a bit of traffic and i was severely blinded by them that I just couldn't see anything but blue/white light and had spots on my eyes for a few minutes afterwards. :mad

not sure how well life hammers work on plastic lenses... i'm sure it'll work on other stuff though :D

I don't really care if people do it, just make sure you don't blind people - it's not a hard request.

I've fitted the projector headlamps from the phrase 3 with my hid kit, they look awesome, no more blinding. I'll post up the pics real soon!

Yeah you can either buy a new bumper or do what i got done, draw the angle of the light, then cut and sand the bumper using a dl sander.
