Stig95 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Currently looking to improve the lights on my S2 Elise, with a HID upgrade. So i have done all the usual googling and come up with the following. http://www.eliseparts.com/products/show/53/325/hid-headlight-conversion-kit/ Has anyone used the for-mentioned kit as some seem to require wiring upgrades but this one does not.

stockhome Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I fitted the Elise shop hid kit which must be very similar very easy fit and has worked well ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibberflops Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I thought HID was a MOT failure if they did not have fitted washers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_h Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 And self levellers, but I doubt many places will do you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stig95 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Didn't know there could be mot problems with them. As for the radio, I can live with that :-)Stockhome, did you go just the dipped lights or main beam as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockhome Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 both dipped and main beam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_h Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I believe it's a new MOT thing last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex B Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'd recommend checking eBay for hid kits before you buy through Elise parts as you can get them a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockhome Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The main reason I bought mine from eliseshop is that they stock spare ballasts if they fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentuz Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I used to have the HID4U which are very good but, the elise and dampness, the ballasts failed and i went back to halford 120% whatever... £30 vs £120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig95 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have gone for the halfords 120% in the end see how they do. Didnt fancy any extra mot issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
