I fitted some HIDs this afternoon and blimey are they bright ! buuuuuuuuuuuuuut (is'nt there always a but ?) I now have no indicators ! any ideas Puma Gurus ?
 
There is always a but it would seem.

I think in this case you need more of an electrical wizard than a Puma guru ;)

It's surely got to be related to the wiring to the lamps or the fuses?

Look on the bright side. At least you'll see the car that hits you because you weren't indicating ;)
 
And it probably won't see the indicators anyway even if they were working as they'll be dazzled by the HiD's.

:eek:k:

lol, great! I think they look awesome, would be a bit worried about getting stopped or failing mot etc though as others have said, people's actual experience of them seems to be good with regards to these problems. Gotta love that blue light look.
 
well nothing went wrong with anything when i had my hid's fitted, and i have had cops drive past me, been in front of me and even flashed one out of a side street, and all those times i had them on and nothing, so i dont think its a prob realy.
 
UPDATE i lent my car to my sis when i was on holiday, and when she picked me up from the airport this afternoon the sun was out and she had the lights on,,,well can i say it was like some one driving about with there fogs on in summer,she is such a chav but only without the gold dolls and stuff, so yea they work well at night but all the puma's i see are driven my nice peps who let you out of side streets and stuff and dont drive like d**ks lets keep it that way, so if its day light for your own sake turn them off its dafft to have them on and you will be useing a tad more than you would with them off,taa taa for now.
 
Have sorted the problems out on my HIDs which were due to bent headlight pin connectors as pin guides were missing from the car and NOT anything to do with the HIDs which are much brighter particularly driving round country lanes round Newcastle Airport at night.

Have had a pal who is an MOT tester have a look at them and he says they will pass the MOT test and they dont dazzle anymore than my mates ST Focus which does'nt have HIDs.
 
Yes, the standard dipped beam on the Puma is pants but managed to remedy this more easily with some of the extra power/super-brilliance bulbs.

Job done!

No doubt they are not as dazzlingly bright as HIDs - but all that's important is that I can still belt along back roads at night and see where I am going.

Go for a UK seller if you can as if you have a duff bulb etc , it easier to return.
The "colour" is the main thing to choose.
Have a look here.
