| Re: Fitting Bi-Xenon HID's to vRS Mk1 If we're talking bi-xenon then they're not the standard ones, so I'm guessing Chris is refering to an after market kit. If this is the case, they're easy enough to fit but not strictly legal.

| Re: Fitting Bi-Xenon HID's to vRS Mk1 From all that I have read on here it sounds nearly impossible. Something to do with the self levelling electronics I think. You might be able to do aftermarket if they have self levelling though. Not a job for the faint hearted. Cheers

| Re: Fitting Bi-Xenon HID's to vRS Mk1 If you have xenon dipped beam as standard, then a HID conversion kit for the main beam is quite easy to fit. I did this on my Fabia with good results. The proper bi-xenon headlamps are very different & would involve a lot of work & money to fit.

| Re: Fitting Bi-Xenon HID's to vRS Mk1 Unfortunately, retro-fitting without self-levelling systems (and washers?) is now illegal under some recent new legislation. - i.e., without a heck of a lot of work and expertise, it ain't going to be easy.
