HID 'kits' are not vehicle specific, only bulb style specific.
Personally, I hate seeing HID bulbs in non-HID headlamps, as in most applications, the design and beam pattern of the headlamp is not suited to the HID throw, and you end up dazzling on-coming vehicles.

Yup, I'm running Nightbreakers and never have a situation of 'not having enough light'.
Don't do it. HIDs in cars that aren't supposed to have them look hideous. Massively unfocused beams with enough light to burn through a concrete wall. A friend of mine has them and I swear to god if he doesn't change them soon, they're going up his a55.
Just get decent bulbs like Nightbreaker+ golds. Much better.

Old thread revival!
Ive recently fitted an HID kit in my Landrover Freelander 2. The light from them is now fantastic however they are projector headlights unlike the Up which are reflectors. Has anyone got any pictures of them fitted in an Up - beam pattern shot or pictures of illumination on a dark road and if so what's your experience of them?
I know they are not road legal in UK!!!

I hope you're planning to use it where it belongs then, on a farm! 😂

Don't do it, please. Nothing more annoying than a car with HIDs in reflector headlights coming toward you or sat behind you.

APR remap done on 90ps TSI
ModificationsJust my 90ps tsi mapped to 135hp, and 250nm torque. Car is a completely different animal now, so rapid! A proper sleeper now.. When driving hard, MPG has gone down to 25mpg from the 30s, but driving normally there's no difference. I've heard the 5 speed box is only rated to 200nm torque though...- 17
