Now i understand i can fit a HID kit directly into a projector headlight without having any glare issues,

just wondering whats the best way to do it, or how to do it?

I guess i buy a HID kit online, do i need to buy two? one for dipped beam one for main beam?

sidelights ive sussed, just get some white LED ones,

and i know if i get H7 bulb kit (4300k) they will do my normal lights

but confuggle about main beams

cheers

Seeing as you're not going to have this car long I wouldn't bother with the main beams personally.

HID's on dipped is enough, they are bright enough not to use main that often anyway.

I fitted HID's to main beam and in my opinion were a waste of time, took a few seconds to fire up to full brightness, so not really worth the cost.
Maybe a better bet to upgrade to 100watt bulbs for mains

I've wondered this myself actually, why do aftermarket kits take a few seconds to warm up while the OEM bi-xenons on our Merc are instant?
