well imagine my tina wiring would go up quite easy so ill scrap that option

 

but h7 anyone ? they look just like a h4 bulb whats the difference

[Copey]

the spade connector positioning

[Chris!]

H7s have 2 spades H4s have 3

You can use the Hid option but you would have to run them through a relay for the feeds 1st.

 

Some of the cheaper kits have these anyway.

 

The transformers kick out up to 400 volts !!! and the power draw is heavy you would need a good battery and alternator.

i have seen mk1/2 golf lights being fitted as they use bulbs rather than candles for lighting but im not sure what the differnce is in wiring

 

but there is a conversion kit for classics to go H7 which is about 400sheets all in

Just buy the H4 conversion new flat headlights with side lights built in, i bought one recently which also fits the Mini for £34.00 from a local Motor Factors.

HID = high intensity discharge. basically xenon lights mate

 

you're best off with a halogen conversion

HID systems usually are hand and glove with the reflectors and beam pattern lenses and just the bulbs would be pointless
