You mean Xenon bulbs? Not worth it mate (might as well as stick with the halogen bulbs), a HID kit is the way to go (as I mentioned in your other thread).

Go for 6000k, you will be ok with these come MOT time. If you want a more OEM/stock look then go for 4300k.
I think most of us have gone for 6000k.

Yeah 8k & 10k hids may fail the MOT and they will definatly get you some unwanted attention from the Rozzers!

NO THEY WONT FAIL THE MOT!!! you can only fail for a light colour if you have a spectrum meter and i bet no mot station will have one as they are mega expensive even the police dont have them!!!!!!!a hid will only fail if it has no beam patteren!!
the reason for unwanted attention from the police is poorly adjusted headlights once hids have been fitted!!
remember the higher the number the poorer the light but the higher the number the blue'r the light(12k is purple though)
i have been running 10k's for over a year with no problems even at mot time!!yea i know i'm a tester but i dont test my own car!!
the wife even uses the car from time to time to go to her work,what diff does that make i hear you say??????????? she's a traffic cop
and all she gets greef about is the spacing on my number plate!!!

Don't know about you but I hardly use my main beams round town so why not put HIDs in the dipped and a Xenon bulb in your main beam, at least when you flash someone it won't change to a yellow light and it'll save you money and the trouble of locating a second set of ballasts.
