Many moons ago I decided I was selling my car and getting an FD2.
I started thinking about stripping the car and HIDs were the easiest thing to get off that needed the spanners so to speak, so I took them off and put them up for sale. After a month or so I changed my mind and decided to keep the FN2 and charge it instead (that's another story entirely), so I bought the Night Breakers.
HIDs will always give a better light, no question, however with all the internet rumours that were circling at the time that HIDs were going to be virtually outlawed come MOT time, I decided to get some "road legal" bulbs instead.
Don't get me wrong the Night Breakers are a massive improvement over the standard bulbs, but HIDs will always be brighter.
