DodgyRog Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 :cool:Hid's now fitted and much easier than I anticipated. Bought from Knight-Racer http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=167836 Thankfully I had read a thread on here about if they don't come on, turn around the plug, due to reverse polarity on Supe's, as I would of been scratching my head for ages and proberbly bitching:rolleyes: Took me about an hour and half total. So anyone thinking of doing this, don't hesitate about fitting them yourself. I took out the headlights and mounted the Ballasts under the headlights on the bar that runs along the front. Hopefully will get plenty of air there to keep them cool. They are definately plug and play:d, although I would say the instuctions that came with them don't seem to relate to the actual ones I had:blink:, but not to difficult to work out for yourself.

Rich8v Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I've always wanted a set of hid's for my supe. Will try and get some this week now the evenings are dark now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You should do it ... they are probably the single best modification I've made on mine. The night time racing it actually a joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 If you get condensation like I did because the bulbs don't seal properly, fill the holes (back of the bulb) with blue tac to form a seal. If you ever need to replace the bulb you can take the blue tac out without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recommended to Knight-Racer's and at that price, has to be well worth it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After driving across the totally unlit Woodbury common last night, I totally agree and so does the wife, she now wants Hid's for her Mini:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 When the bulbs heat up won't it drip off/dissolve? Good question, that I can't answer. It was something I was told here somewhere, but havn't had to use.
