My 450 Smart with HID lights

[joker]

Thought I would take a video of what it should look like at night when you are driving. I cant believe I drove around with regular halogens for so long. There really is no comparison even to those pricey PIAA halogens. HID = HD driving hehehe...Blu-ray format hehehe

Of course remember that the grey market 450 cars had their European headlights removed by G&K and replaced by aftermarket headlamps. So most anything would be an improvement. At least the new 451 models have nice projector lamps (not HIDs, however) and are plenty bright. Seems about the same as my Prius HDs.

...and that retrofitting HIDs to OEM headlights or aftermarket headlights unless specifically designed for HID bulbs is illegal in most countries of the world.
