   I have just bought the smoked headlights for the mk2 vtr which look good on my icelandic grey car but i want my headlights to be a bright white colour rather than the yellow kinda colour they look now. I wanted a hid conversion but heard you can only get that for the angel eye versions as they have to be projectors or they blind the traffic coming the other way. if this is the case, is there another way i can get a bright white light, like on newer cars.....audi, bmw etc.
   If the best i can do is get new bulbs then a list of different peoples suggestions would be appreciated.
   Thanks

   You can get HID's for normal lights. You can't use HID's with Angel eyes.

   they dont melt the ring they melt the outside lense and crack. trust... i know LOL
   
   Supposed to use HID through a projector coz you can aim the beam but you should be fine with them!

    ok cheers guys. i wanna get the hid then if its possible cos think it will look rly good.
    I t was jus cos my mate has angel eyes and hid conversion and said i couldnt have them with my headlights cos the beam would be all over the place and blind everyone so would have to get projectors.
    if its ok...............will it still pass the mot then?
