I agree and disagree Grin

Fitting HID's to FF standard.....will be a nightmare.....you need self leveling headlamp units/washers and a change of wiring loom.....to me that sounds a nightmare.....maybe not to you.

Fitting a HID kit....without doing anything about the self leveling and washers, i agree is easy Thumbs Up!

Factory fit setup? I'll be very impressed if that's the case, the wiring setup is quite different, as is the levelling system. Retro-fitting HIDs using a kit that taps into the existing halogen loom is easy enough, but a completely different approach to retro-fitting a factory HID system with all the wiring changes that entails.
