(Repeat Q from Gen tech...)Noticed that Halfords are running a BOGOF offer at the mo for these.£18-99 a bulb but are they any good as they claim a 90% improvement?

Have thought about one of these kits for a while,but was a bit worried about the difficulty in fitting and whether it would overload my morrettes.
Might save my money till ive researched whats out there...

If you have Morettes, I would not fit the HID as I have read somewhere on here in the past they are tricky to fit and don't perform that well compared to a halogen bulb.

If you want the best, fit a decent set of HIDs.
Our kits are being used on many cars on this forum with great success.![Thumb](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif)
Not the same as ebay kits![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

You pays your money.........Halogen bulbs cost a fraction of HID and are almost as good in the right reflector.......allegedly.
NEITHER are any good in rubbish lights though, so maybe some new lights first?

If you don't want the cost of HID's or are concerned about the legality of fitting them then the Halfords lights are very good. I've not tried the +90% ones but the previous ones, +50% I think, are excellent. When they're on BOGOF then you can't go wrong.

I just bought some at the wknd for my derv, they are brighter than OE and overall are not bad for improved visability especially considering the price at BOGOF its a good deal. Just dont expect them to be anywhere near as good as an HID kit tho.

Can 2nd the Jam performance Kits, SUPERB quality and a bargain price. No need to pay more, have them on my Morettes without Issue.
The Subaru kit was £85 delivered and it arrived the next day.
K18LLR also is running the exact same kit from them on his morettes beam pattern is perfect and passes the MOT without issue.
I had 100w halogens before on the morettes and the fuse kept blowing, wiring then burnt out

Tried 75w, and the same thing!
Then went to HID and no issues since. Look so much better too.
