I'm about to buy a Xenon HID kit 6000k, can you write a small tutorial on how to install those things?

My car is an 07 model so it's already equipped with the projector housings, as for the auto leveling, I have manual headlight leveling on my dash :)

IMHO If people want improved lighting, you should stay legal and buy some top notch bulbs instead of a botched xenon kit. Get Phillips X-treme Power bulbs or Osram Nightbreakers.

The nightbreakers have a blue tint on them, and if you order from powerbulbs.com you get free blue tint sidelights as well (counts for both bulbs).

They massively improve performance over standard and will look a lot less yellow. :cool:

ps. I don't work for powerbulbs.com

Xenons aren't illegal (yet) in my country :)

I already have Osram Silverstars mounted. Gave up on Xenons, I'm investing that money into speakers :)

Yeah, properly fitted/standard fit xenons aren't illegal here either. They are illegal though if aftermarket bodge kits are fitted to incorrect housings originally meant for halogen bulbs. All it accomplishes is pissing off other drivers with glare and/or failing your MOT.

Lose/Lose situation.
