My totally standard polo, with only satnav and remote central locking with a flip key added by me, rinces that 16.9 0-60 time. I know that the speedos are not 100% accurate (about 5% higher than actual speed) but i still do nearer 12.5 seconds to 60 with shell opti-max? oh and it is the 1.2E

Sadly there is a lot more involved than just swapping bulbs, hid stands for high intensity discharge and these bulbs work with balasts, and ignighters rather than just our hallogen bulbs, which are simply a small piece of wire in an inert (i.e. unreactive) gas (halogen, really good ones xenon) which...
