I was wondering if there are any HID kits availible for the 240 with the Silvia front end conversion projector headlights? I am really sure there are, i am simply asking to see if anyone can point me in the right direction so the process of sourcing some will be alot easier. Thanks, Nightstepper. :help

Xenon/HIDs are illegal unless they have front mounted washers to clean the lenses [otherwise the light is incorrectly dispersed and bugs ppl I guess?] and it also has to be self leveling.

Doesn't the use of Xenon lamps cause more irritation amongst other drivers?

The International regulations governing light distribution and intensity on the road are very strict. Xenon light falls well within these standards. Technically speaking , xenon lighting is less irritating than halogen lamps. This is because the light darkness transition border are much more clearly defined. Less light is reflected into the eyes of oncoming drivers. The increased light output is used to give more homogeneous light distribution and to improve the illumination of the verges. The above are only achieved if the following 3 International regulation conditions are met :

- The headlamps must be correctly aligned according to the regulations.

- The vehicle must be fitted with an automatic headlamp leveling system.

- The vehicle is fitted with an automatic headlight cleaning system. Without such the dirt acts as a diffuser for the light and distributes it in areas beyond the prescribed range.
