Can't see why you'd need HID's for full beams,
good quality bulbs like Philips Bluevision would look the part and perform well without running the risk of burning out a ballast.

As per Colm - I upgraded my main bulbs to Philips Bluevision and there was an improvement. While the FTO's lights aren't exactly great I think a HID on the full beams would be a waste of money and a potential future problem. These light covers weren't designed for this amount of heat.

Don't be tempted to put in high wattage bulbs, the wiring can't handle it.

Dan the blue bulbs I bought from you that time I met you in Mullingar are great? Were you not using the same bulbs? I find them very good and plus they compliment the HIDs very well.
