I'd buy them off Ebay mate...

I think i got mine for about £40 delivered. People will say get the ones for £90+, but to be honest that's a waste of money, in my opinion!

You'll need H7 one's for your facelift lights.

Also, i'd get the one's rated 8000k, they are white but have a very slight blue tint to them, look mint!

I don't think HID's are legal, but they're not illegal either :\.

Do these kits on ebay fit any car or do they have to be specific vauxhall corsa ones?

6000k if you're a scardy pants like me


but then again i do have reflectors so 8000k would be a huge blue blob coming down the road

IMO 8000k looks perfect through the corsa facelifts.

So 8000k looks **** on the Skoda's? :(

Well they dont have projectors mate

theyre like pre facelift lights

I've got 6000k in at the minute

quite a bit of glare, dunno if would go through MOT.

nobody has flashed me in 2 weeks though

you can get them with xenons as an extra, theyre not all that rare

HIDs are Xenon conversions mate, if you on about xenon imitation bulbs theres a whole lotta difference

e.g. the price, the life of the bulb and the brightness

from personal experience id say go for the 6k, i wanted white with a tiny tinge of blue so i ordered 8k and ended up with blue with a tinge of white! lol

my 8ks are very blue! i was abit concerned at first with the po po but been behind them, in front of them, theyve seen me plenty and had a few opportunities to pull me if they wanted to and so far so good! up to you really, wouldnt go higher than 8k tho.
