Things have got even tougher since then - partly due to people blinding others with inadequate conversions I expect.
Plus that thread doesn't look to mention the need to let the insurer know you've made an illegal modification.
I really don't know why people do it. It's so much easier and vastly cheaper to go to a higher output halogen.
I wholeheartedly agree! I went with aftermarket xenon bulbs, slightly lowered the aim, and it's perfect! I have projectors on my truck, and they're nowhere near as bright as the bulbs in my ST. No mods needed. The KISS principle at work...Keep It Simple, Silly! OK, you may substitute another word for that last "S".
I wouldn't do it. If they go wrong like mine just have it costs a fortune and is a pita to do. What's wrong with good old fashioned bulbs that cost nothing to replace easily!!
I'll be avoiding buying any cars with HID from now. My Ducati has lamps that look a bit like HID but sensibly fitted withg H12s or similar.

its a fortune if you go to jaguar for your parts. Bulbs can be replaced just as easily. The only extra component is the ballast unit.
I've owned two cars with xenon headlights in now. Neither of which i've had any problems with.
if you plan on avoiding xenon/projector type lights, i think you will begin to struggle in the near future as all car makes seem to be swapping to them.
