H.I.D headlights

Anyone got or have installed H7 H.I.D'S on their megane's??

Wanted to know how much you payed for the kit and how easy it was to install?? We all know how much of a pain in the a**e changing the bulbs can be! I got a 2007 1.5 dci 3 door dynamique.

Hi mate i just got my misses a 53 plate megane II and had it 1 day drove it at nite after driving my car and could not see a thing with the standered light as i was that use to my hids in my vectra so rhe next morning i went out took my hids out of my fog lights as i hardly used them so thought change it to the h7 bulbs and pop them in the nisses car along with some smd sidelights and thats what i did and all i can say is OMG what a difference went out again when it got dark and was far better would recommend you to do it all i need to do now is get another set of hids for my fogs when i get a chance haha just couldent leave them standered bulbs in the megane it took about 45 minsto fit both and all i done was turn the wheels and use the little gap in at the wheel to put the bulbs in and the done the rest fron the engine bay hope this helps

OLD POST But....

Kits are pretty cheap now - no more than £50 and even less if you shop around (but don't go too cheap or the quality will be compromised).

On the 2007 car with projector lights, you can fit the standard H7 kit but I would recommend the H7R on the phase 1 meganes to avoid dazzling others.

I've got HID's fitted to the headlamps (H7) and fog lamps (H11), as well as led lights for the side lights and numberplate lights - didn't see the point of doing the high beams. I drove my mate's 2006 plate with standard lights and felt the lights were really poor in comparison to the HID's in mine - even though I felt the standard lights in my car (before the mod) were a lot better than the standard lights in my Alfa. There's no going back to standard lights for me!

PS, SMD lights 'haze' the inside of the headlamp (I think when the solder burns off or something) so I'm using http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-501-T10-W5W-LED-WHITE-XENON-Look-sidelight-bulbs-UK-/280631984179?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4156f84033 which last very well (compared to smd's and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Car-LED-501-T10-W5W-WHITE-XENON-Side-Light-Bulbs-UK-/380628989761?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item589f417741 which don't seem to like the heat and flicker and burn out.

PPS, HIDs / led light can fail the MOT....

I had them on my 1.9 dci but the kit i brought was faulty, they sort or flickered when you looked at them up against a wall and eventually the bulbs went so i have taken them out, to fit them i had to take the bumper off and remove light unit, i did them on my c2 before the megane. the are a great feature to the cars looks, i currently have boring yellow ones as my funds are running low
