I think thread should stay - Don't be put off, I am sure our american enthusiast did not mean disrespect, maybe just the way it came accross!?
No disrespect at all, just stating facts in the best and clearest way possible to get the point across.
I will leave it at that.
Clearly I am "American" but I can tell you that I have a very good background in Automotive lighting whether in "AMERICA" or Europe and rest of the world. Worldwide, HID capsules will not work in any halogen based lamp.
If you feel you do not want to believe science, engineering and so forth then this post does need to end.
As I mentioned we tested these kits on a 164 here with European spec headlamps and they where far more awful than a low quality H1 bulb. No comparison. I could see 100 times better with the halogen bulb being correct, correctly aligned in the correct reflector as it came from the factory.
