Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi there!!! First off, please accept my apologies for yet another HID conversion question, but please bear with me. Relatively new to the world of Porsche and I'm just after a little bit of advice really. I've got a 2000 C4 and thinking about getting a HID conversion and have seen the one available from the Posrcheshop.co.uk. I was just wondering if anyone has got any experience of this particular kit. I've read a few articles that states some of the kits aren't legal. So was wondering if this one is legal and actually worth it??? Thanks again!!! Adam

POST 2Original post

Adam! I think they are all much of a muchness. The one from aceparts has been fitted by a few of the guys here, and gets good reviews.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for your reply Richard I'm just a little concerned about the legality of these products???

POST 4Original post

I converted mine using a kit from Aceparts (as detailed elsewhere on the site). I also read somewhere that HID lights should have auto-height adjusting to be 'legal', but after 3 years and as many MOTs have not had any issues. HTH.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for your replies guys, I was refering more to the legality of the light patterns when MOT, its all above and beyond me tbh but it was something about how the light either was or wasn't difused??? I've decided to risk it anyway lol, thanks again!!!

POST 6Original post

Found this link if anyone is interested. http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs/hidheadlamps I think the likleyhood of being pulled or failing MOT is low as long as they point the right way and dont attract too much attention by fitting the purple colour capsules
