HID retrofit lights anyone?

Has anyone fitted any of the retrofit HID light kits available?

I understand that they might not be road legal?

I wondered about fitting them into the front fog lights and having them as driving lights.

Are the front fogs easy to get to like the headlights?

Hi

I have fitted a few kits over the years, and its easy enough.

BUT... new MOT regs coming in soon will check and fail if HID is fitted and the vehicle does not have self leveling headlamps and headlamp washers.

It may also need projector headlamp lenses too if the standard lens does not direct the beam correctly.

Self levelling suspension counts if you happen to have it.
