Just found this. Might be an interesting read for everyone who has HID kits.

In summary it is not permitted to convert an existing halogen headlamp unit for use with HID bulbs. The entire headlamp unit must be replaced with one designed and approved for use with HID bulbs and it must be installed in accordance with the rules stated above.

Has to be a light unit designed for HID's (not specifically projector), washers and self leveling, it's always been the same, people will still argue otherwise.

I know its always been like that, and yes need washers and self levelling. I posted it because there is always people that think just sticking in a HID kit is all right and it leads to arguments
