Am not impressed with hid kit in my fez
Had projectors as standard, and are h7
The bulbs look like they are moving and
They leave 2 dark lines in the road!
Is there a special kit for projectors??
Or am i best resorting to standard bulbs?
Running 6000k in it
Hope to get a response in this post.

Loads of people including myself have installed hid kits in the standard projectors without issues! Without sounding patronizing are you sure they are installed correctly? As the bulb metal clips are difficult. I ended up cutting the clips to adapt them! Took me two attempts! Worse case you could go to a garage and check your light alignment and go from there.

Yes mate installed correctly i had same trouble with clips had to
Trim them slightly to get thru the hole, the cars 8 month old so alignment is fine
Bulbs will only seem to fit one way
Nice and bright at night but just looks like
Bulbs are shaking in the lights but they are in dam tight

Thinking of just putting some phillips ones in instead

I've just thought...when you say you think the bulbs are moving do you mean the beam in towards the centre of each bulb? Like a slight flicker?! This is common if you look on Google and YouTube! Mainly happening because of kinks in the wires if not placed correctly or blallasts not sitting correctly.

Yes mate its a kind of flicker. Does it on both lights
Wires are not kinked, passenger ballast is taped down under the headlight
On top of a plastic cover near wash bottle, drivers side is cable
Tied to horn bracket... Cant understand the flicker i even bought new
Bulbs thinkin that was the problem but no still same mate

Try changing the location to ontop! I have one balast cable tied ontop of the battery and similar to the other side! Would get you a pic but I'm away for a week so no car! It ain't the bulbs if you read up on it the flicker comes from non consistent flow in electricity! Hope it helps
