Styling HID lights for Mk1
dont fit hids to a mk1, the glass is wrong and will chuck the light all over the place. get some better bulbs instead
i have hid kit in standard mk1 head lights, beam pattern is perfect on headlight alignment machine.
any on ebay will be ok mate... i bought mine like 3 years ago so links are invalid now.

i know what you mean....get all my parts from central motor parts in pembroke dock but the halford bulbs are excellent and they were doing a 2 for 1 offer...
seriously the mk1 headlights are useless; the gt ones will fit straight in just need to change the push on connectors ....cheapest and best solution

I got mine from http://www.hids4u.co.uk/. They are amazing guys, it's all made in-house and tested, you can phone them with any kind of enquiry and they are super helpful!
Also got an extra wiring loom (for my bike) made up to my spec by them

get hids, bulbs are just rubbish in comparrision, you can pick hid's up for about £30 if you seach hard enough.

I should say for ( future searches) proper balance, that I have had the items I paid for . Seems they did not 'see' the order on line, But all is settled, and the LED interior lamp is fitted and works just fine.
A point I should make, You don't need to have an in-line resister for interior lights as the computer does not care about these lights if they detect a blown bulb or an LED lamp fitted.
