H7 and H11 plugs
l0rd - 7/1/12 at 03:40 PM

I am looking into converting to HIDs.

I noticed that the kits do not have an adaptor for the car loom and just have the wire with a spade connector.


Where would i be able to find some plugs so i can make it neatier if i go down this route?

this might not be significant but,....

HID lamps use a gas discharge system and require a ballast, igniter and a special high voltage circuit

They have two electrodes in a glass tube filled with Xenon gas and metal salts. When the high voltage is applied the electrodes form an arc which ionizes the xenon atoms and metallic salts creating light.

HID lights are up to three times brighter than normal bulbs and therefore have the potential to dazzle other drivers. To combat this new vehicles fitted with HID lighting must have either a headlamp levelling or rear suspension levelling system and a headlamp washing system.

Previously aftermarket kits were excluded from this requirement. However the DOT considers that after market kits should meet the same safety requirements

Therefore effective 31st December 2011 in order to pass the MOT test ALL vehicles fitted with aftermarket HID lights will also need to be fitted with a headlamp cleaning and levelling system

These systems are also mandatory for ALL vehicles fitted with LED headlights.

this is the situation as I understand it,...

At this point, getting F**ked by the politicians

NOPE it doesn't matter and to be honnest, i do not care any more.


I am paying taxes more than i should be, I am unemployed and they want me to pay £2000 on taxes so they can steal the money.

Anyone remember the Greek's primeminister declaration to go on a referendum? There was such a mess in Europe that all FInancial Markets dropped.

How come the prime minister's brother made billions in the company he works for? Did he know about it before it happened?
