Mother in laws got one on a 59 ant the lights are shit! So I thought hid but now I'm unsure I've read it won't pass mot due to the scatter in light? So now I'm looking at Philips xtreme bulbs anyone use these or have a better idea other than don't go out in the dark

 

Philips diamond vision are good, so i imagine the extremes will be similar i used them before i went hid's

if you've bought normal hid bulbs (H7's) and put them in reflector type headlights you may have issues, if you've got the correct bulbs for reflector headlights (H7r's), they should be fine with beam pattern.

if they fail for being hid's, simply change them at mot time.

 

So best bet is get a plug and play hid kit easy changed for mot if needed.
