    Paj sport doesn't have projector beam headlights so you oncoming drivers could have problems with them.

    If that doesn't bother you then the rest is easy. it's plug and play with no additional wiring required. unplug wiring loom from the bulb, plug the wiring loom into the ballast instead, insert the bulb wired to the ballast into the headlight unit.
    Simple as that.

    A lot of the HID kits for sale do not have CE approval, in theory this is a VTN/DOE (and NCT) fail.

    HID lamps are also required to be fitted with auto leveling systems. (not sure if ancient Eire has enacted this, but its coming)

    Enforcement on the other hand is a totally different issue...

    if you're looking on the likes of ebay, not all the kits are "plug & play", some will require cutting wires etc. although most of the decent ones will allow you to just plug the connector that goes on thhe back of the old bulb into the ballast for the HID kit and just put the new HID bulb in place of the old one, with the only real worry being where you should fit the ballast itself, but that will depend on where you have spare room in your engine bay.

    Hi
    I have installed hid kit to my l200 so far no problem with D.O.E.
    Is easy plug and play in my kit have to swap wires because l200 need to have bi-xenon's working wrong way in my car - 5 min. job.
    after replace you must go check lights specially level, I put my little lover than normal.

    as the chinese guy on ebay said when i asked if it was plug & play or if i needed to cut wires to fit it...
    you get professional install, you no have cut wire

    i'd just like to finish with "if you get someone to chew your food, you no need teeth" :pac::pac::pac:
