I use to drive a bmw 745i and it had hid headlights. Hid headlights are those really bright, almost blue headlights that luxury cars have. I was wondering if you can convert a car with regular headlights to hid. They really help with night driving!

They're called Xenons over here, and I'm not sure if you can... You could just try and fit the Xenon bulbs to it but I'm not 100% sure if the wiring is different or what.

yeah, they're Xenon bulbs over here, you can buy them to fit your car, at Halfords there's either a list or they're universal fit. It depends what car you're getting them for.

..search it on the interweb.

Kits can be bought on ebay for conversions, plenty of people do it. Also, only high end cars have them in Yankee land? You can get them on Fiesta's here now.

The discussion was that in Europe Ford's come with them and in America they don't. I think you've lost the meaning.

Yeah, like new Fords in America don't come with them, you have to update them yourself, you can't get it as a factory option.
