Hello everyone, long term lurker, first time poster so bear with me.
I am considering putting in HID's into my 2006 Accord CDTi Sport and have been browsing this forum, and others, and whilst I have seen numerous posts about the physical installation of them, there appears to be slight contradictions about whether it is legal or not to install them. Is it legal to install HID's, am I likely to be pulled by the rozzers for doing so and will I pass MOT tests?
As the family car, I just want better lights for safety and therefore I do not want any of the lights with a coloured tinge, happy for it just to be white, which from my understanding is the 5k ones (please correct me if I am wrong).
Sorry if this has been answered already, I have read the HID posts and could not find it.
Oh, finally, some pics of my little beauty along with my custom made puddle lights which I made from SMD's after my latest detail.
Before:
After:
Oh yes, also my custom mood lighting I put in the car as well, also made out of SMD's. This is linked up to the dome light circuitry and reacts in the same way the dome light does (which is also now SMD's) So, footwell lighting lights when car is unlocked, door opened, and dims when car is locked, engine started etc.
