HID kit on a bora

heartofwhite · 2012-06-28 08:33:30

Hey guys, I really want to get HID'S installed on my 2001 Bora. I am not sure of the specifics though. The more I read about it the more complicated it sounds. I am not sure if the current lights are projector or not. I want to get a 4300k kit put in. Has anybody got any definitive tips or advice on what I should be…

Hey guys,

I really want to get HID'S installed on my 2001 Bora. I am not sure of the specifics though. The more I read about it the more complicated it sounds. I am not sure if the current lights are projector or not. I want to get a 4300k kit put in. Has anybody got any definitive tips or advice on what I should be buying?

Would I need to completely change the headlight style?

Thanks!

Standard bora lamps are reflector types and are probably one of the worst looking cars with a HID kit in them.

The only Bora to have projector lenses as standard is one that came with xenons and you wouldn't need to fit a HID kit in them

My advice take the 60 lids or what ever it would cost and spend it else where on the car.
