HID upgrade

Has anyone upgraded their headlights using a HID conversion kit. I've got a 2014 116d and was contemplating doing it but thought I would seek advice from others first.

    If your car has self leveling suspension and/or headlamp washers I believe you will be OK with a HID upgrade and not fall foul of any construction and use regulations.

    Just a thought do you have LED headlamps your ID shows 116d 2018 ? should that be 2016? If your headlamps have Halogen bulbs you can upgrade to HID if they are LED I don't think so

    It's a 2014 model. It's just got the standard halogen bulbs. I was just wondering if anyone else had done a upgrade so I knew where best to buy etc. Thanks for your reply

    Google HID's Direct they have plenty of experience and a good reputation. Both of my sons have used their upgrade kits, and on my youngest sons Toyota the difference is literally night and day.

    Just make sure you have headlamp washers so you don't fall foul at MOT time as I believe the lighting regs state washers or self leveling or both
