i dont really fancy getting a HID conversion and the large variety of bulbs and prices on ebay is confusing me as to which ones to buy. So any recommendations? Heard the lotus replacement ‘osram’ bulbs are ok? Also a price and where to buy them would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Dont dismiss the HID’s, i’ve run cheap ebay ones for several years without any problems, touch wood! The difference is day and night!

Thanks Gav. Which make and model did you get if you dont mind me asking? Also is the interferrence with the radio constant or just every so often? Thanks. John
Being a good northern pikey I just got the cheapest I could with the correct lamp (depends which head light you have).
Yes it knocks the radio out but I hardley listen to that anyway, I would much rather see where i’m going!
you can get kits from ebay (uk) from �36 just get the correct h7 or h1.
They are a piece of p1ss to fit but then again I am a sparky!

Haha i am also a northern pikey.oh great thanks again gav. So im guessing either the H7 or H1 fit the 2010 model like yours then? Unfortunantly i have no skills whatsoever in car electronics (or anything at all for that matter haha) so im guessing this wou,ldnt be a big job if i took it to a local garage then?
Yes h7 or h1,i cant remember which year has which lamp, but it will tell you in the owners manual. Basically with the wiring, you just use the two wires going to the lamp to feed the hid ballast and then put the new hid lamp in. The only thing you have to do is cut a hole in the rubber behind the headlight to feed the cables through.
If you fancy doing it yourself and want some help, give me a shout.

oh great thanks again mate. i will see how daring i am when i get them haha. John
