HID on polo gti

Err don't forget that BMW, Mercedes also have these as Standards as well as mk4r32s!

Err, I was more than certain that BMW's and Mercs are xenons, but I guess I stand corrected.

HIDs are usually optional on the lower range of BMW (1, 3 and 5 series) and Mercs(a,b,c,e class)

The only car that physically comes standard with HID's is the Honda Accord (I personally dont like Honda's full stop).

I personally dispise ricers that think that HID's are a must and are cool. Truth is the dodgy chinese kits have less light intensity than your stock bulbs!

Most Euro's with excessively bright headlights arent HID's but rather Xenons. Furthermore, Euro's with Xenons have auto leveling, which helps the person in front not get blinded by your headlights.

Xenons are HIDs. Xenon is just the specific gas that is used in a High Intensity Discharge bulb. Most people use the term interchangeably. So cars from Europe, Japan etc that use headlamps one step up from halogens are using HID headlights. I know confusing

Aftermarket hids are illegal unless fitted with projector glass AND washers, same as all cars fitted with HID's as standard.
The washers are there to reduce glare for oncoming vehicles.
