So what is the verdict from you E30 M3 owners can you get through an MOT
with the HID conversions fitted? |

Mine arrived today. I will probably take a trip to my local MOT place to check the headlight alignment when I have put the on then I'll let you know.

am I right in thinking that if you simply increase the wattage of the bulbs
this will increase the current being drawn along the wires and over time fry the wires. also it will increase the heat within the reflector and cook that over time? |

I may also invest in those HID bulbs as they'll bring up the angels a treat and bring up the lights as well Paul |

Mike90,
Sorry to hear you have radio interference from the HID`s,can`t say I had the same problem,mines fine 
I did read in some of the other adverts on ebay,from the alledged better quality HID`s,boasting that their units didn`t come with a reley or resister or something,that some of the cheaper units need to avoid radio inteference? I`ll see if I can find it again and let you know. Jon |

300% brighter than the average equivalent 55 watt halogen lighting
100% Road Legal !! Draws only 35watts (50 W for from the vehicle's electrical / charging system compared to 55 / 60 watts for halogen systems Waterproof connections for external uses Fully magnetically and EM shielded , thus no interference with on board electronics etc , unlike cheaper HID systems ( which can affect or even disable ECUs , airbag systems, wiper control , anti lock brakes !! ) Our HID systems are suitable for use on dipped AND high beam applications,unlike any other systems on the market A quick cut and paste fron an advert,hope it gives you a clue.

I bought the so called Bosch HID ones, if they are Bosch then I'm a Chinaman.
They are quite well made and will not need to be spliced into the wiring. They simply have two spade end connections that connect to the 12V wires that usually attach to the back of the bulb. This goes back to the unit which then ups the voltage and outputs to the new bulbs. All very neat. I hope I have no interference issues. The English translation is hilarious, Basil Fawlty could do a sketch on it. |
