After looking through many pages on Google and the department of transport website it looks like I wont be installing my hid kit for fear of my car becoming illegal after retrofitting it into standard halogen reflector headlight.

looks like my kit will be going on ebay (wasted some money there, teach me not to look it up properly first)
so if anyone has any suggestions on how to make the most of my standard headlights at the moment, i.e what bulbs would look good in there currently. heard a lot of people mention Osram Nightbreakers? any body have them?
Again sorry to have dragged this out, just looking for suggestions from people who have been there done that, sort of thing.
