    Does anyone know of a good aftermarket Hid kit.
    Had to remove one before from my previous car because of radio interference, I assume that problem is solved now-a-days!?!?
    The car is a 2012 Skoda Octavia with halogen factory fitted H7 headlights.

    Lots of other threads on this. If you have halogen headlamps, fitting HIDs will be an NCT fail. Are they projector or reflector? If reflector, you will also dazzle other drivers.

    Best to get a high output halogen bulb.

    Projector from factory..
    Yes I've had nights breakers, Philips(night bulbs)etc,.. but I know Hid's for my regular night driving can't be bettered.
    Just need to know of a good kit with little or no interference!?
    I know adding ferrite clips to cable/loom can dampen the interference but is this still the way to go?

    I had them installed on my wife's Audi A2 a long time back and experienced radio interference. The ferrite clips definitely helped although didn't eliminate it completely.

    All these kits are made in China and likely have the same/similar internals. I've never heard of any being particularly better than others.

    Not the usual Chinese junk , and no Ecu can -bus errors either, or radio interference.
