I remember a while ago reading a thread about aftermarket H1 HID bulbs being too long to fit correctly into the normal S15 headlight. I sent my boyfriend on a mission to find a kit that would fit. Which he has! :D I thought i'd see if anyone else fancied getting hold of one of the kits - he can get a few more sets brought over (just short of 100 quid inc delivery. )

This isn't a for sale thread, just figured i'd try to help some of you out as the bulbs are a pain to get hold of! :thumbs:

It's not that they wouldn't fit, from memory, it was the fact that it changes the focal length to the reflector and the standard headlights are not optimised for the different beam patterns of the HID bulbs.

Got any more details on the kit?

It would be interesting to get a set of factory HID and non-HID headlights side by side to see what the actual difference is.
