there is an article in auto express this week about after market HID kits and the problem with putting HID bulbs in headlights designed for halogens.

Am i right in thinking that this is because the beam pattern of the reflectors is wrong? Would facelift lights not be affected by this because they use projector lenses instead of mirrors?

I want to get HID, but i know how annoying being blinded by dodgey lights is so need to check if my headlights are going to have wierd beam patterns before doing the deed and getting HID

Very good question - could be an issue when it comes to MOT time as well so will be handy for peeps to know.
