this ive also been wondering, but i have the Ultra angel eyes installed in mine, so would HID's work with projector lights or would i have to re-fit the original headligh units to notice any major difference without projectors?

Well I just put some phillips ultra bright bulbs in mine - replacement standard bulbs just at least 50% brighter and that seemed to work fine for me so i dont know whether a HID kit is actually worth all the hassle. Unless you want the higher intensity off road bulbs to be fitted.

HID kits are just replacement bulbs with an igniter pack so can be fitted to any headlight setup. However the law states that HID's can only be fitted to vehicles with auto levelling headlights, which Corsa B's aren't.

Just to let you know.

ok thanks, corsa b's do have the manual light ajdustment next to the lighting cluster, if that helps, so looks like might be changing back to my original headlighs then hmm, i also tried those philips ones or whatever from halfords at 90% brighter and they've made no difference at all

I've got angel eye projector headlights and i tried the 90% brighter aswell (i also found they didn't make any difference), what i was told was to try the 50% super brilliance blue as they give off more of a whiter light! And although they don't work aswell as if i had my standard light units in they are deffinatly alot whiter!! You can tell when switching between main and dipped beam!
