I see conversion kits for hid headlights and wonder if it's worth the money? Or should I just buy some xenon brighter bulbs?
Are they legal?

Im kinda glad you said bulbs as I here that the HID's kits can fail an anual test that we have in the UK for road worthyness due to the spread of the HID beam. Whats the experience you siad?
