Well, I've had my headlights adjusted by Mitsubish and Nundah (have to say, they were very nice to deal with) and the difference is huge. Both lights were quite a way out of alignment. I now have a perfect beam of light around the entire front of the car but I still have long distance range on the low beam. I don't blind oncoming drivers either now which is great. The high beam naturally was out too and whilst not related to the HID at all, they now project a _long_ way up the road, it's fantastic to drive at night now!
So I give the HID's a big thumbs up :)
I'll post some pics once I get off my butt and take some shots at night.

It's worth taking a look on eBay for kits too, there are some on there, Buy it Now, for $450.

I thought about that but you have to be careful of the quality of the parts. tangcla can tell you where the components of his come from.

OMG stay away from Howard's Techone kits! They are made in China and are nowhere near as bright as these Xelux ones. I've had no less than five customers think that they can save soe money with the Techone ones, only to find that the promised warranty is impossible to claim / denied, threw out their kits and came back to me.

It's up to you, you can try them but my advice is that there is no substitute for quality.

Finally took pics of the HID's (at night) on my car :)
As you can see, they are _very_ bright but as long as they are properly adjusted (angled), they do not blind oncoming drivers and they look totally filth!

Ok,
The forum has gotten so long that I can't seem to read them all.
So how much are they? and are you still selling them?

Thanks,

I saw Mikey's the other week and I must say, they look really good. It's something to save up for, well worth it. Gotta start saving :wink:

Hey guys,
it's time for another order. My new car (yet again :P) needs HB4 globes, and I'm needing another group buy so I can get rid of these stupid halogen globes again!!!

Price is $520 for 6000K or 8000K. Need another 3-5 orders to get the new shipment in!

End of this month preferably; the sooner I get orders, the sooner I can get my HIDs :twisted:

I can do half payment ($260) now, and half payment when the HIDs arrive.

Hi Tangcla,

I saw HiRAEdd's picture, really love to get one for myself too. Do you still have the last 8000k HID kit for sell?

Cheers
