Are you able to just chuck HID globes into standard headlights and be done with it? Or are you in need of ballasts?

of the HID's, no dramas or a boo about the auto leveling or pop up washers.

But mine had already passed Aust standards as a personal import when it was
brought in so that may have helped too.

yer, you do need ballasts. And ideally you want projector lights, non projector lights will blind & annoy oncoming traffic

Wives tail.............No they won't if they're set up properly.

H4 conversion kits to suit reflector headlamps must comply with the H4 light cut off patterns, for both high and low beams, that's why they have a sleeve fitted to them.

The uber cheap low only ones cause issues as they have no sleeve to guide the light output and the light hits both the high & low reflector segments causing dazzle....... non shielded low only kits are illegal as the don't comply to the E1 light pattern cut offs.

HI= High Intensity

Whether I'm driving my cheap RS with ebay specials, or my mates Audi's or BMW's... other drivers still flash their beams at me on dark roads. A lot of people just aren't used to the intensity of light these days and immediately assume they are high beams etc.
