The reason full beam bulbs are not HID is that HIDs take a little time to 'warm up' - not much cop when you flash your lights at someone to warn them you're there.....!

Both the main beam and the dipped beams are H1 fittings. Could you not get a second set of dipped bulbs and fit them? Not technical just wondered...

Sounds like this could be a really neat "stealth" instal. Needs lots of pictures when you do it.

Used to have a big pair of Hella's on my mini. My wife's name BTW.

Maybe it's just mine, but I think the main beams are excellent.
They light up the road very nicely indeed.

Odd.
