Luckily, I've got BMW's factory-fitted xenons on my car. Legally upgrading from halogens to HIDs is likely to be more expensive, unfortunately, but it is possible. As Tim suggests, using a higher-spec halogen bulb is probably the best option for Lee.

A 'lighthouse' upgrade will give you an unbelievable bright throw of light for a second or two, followed by absolute darkness, which is pretty much what you'll get if you don't install a legal self-levelling set of HIDs with washers.
The whole point of having washers on HIDs is to reduce the risk of dirt dazzling oncoming traffic. Dirt on a HID setup will produce a far brighter 'glow' than on a halogen one.

I thought you'd have known about these things, Business Edition?
