the reason some of us go for a retro fit is because the light coming out of those kits arent made 4 halogen projectors. and there isnt a cut off line( line where the light stops so your not blinding people in front of you.) does your light shine everywhere? pull your sc about a car length behind your gs and see if you are blinded while sitting in gs.

CyberSC4: "man that's a funky lookin steering wheel", Yeah i know, someone re-wrapped the stock wheel with two tone tan/black, im not into it so i have been trying to find one in mint/near mint condition with no luck so far???
itssr20: "how much did you guys pay for your HID kits?", About $135 shipped
CGeezy: "Its not the same thing, you just have bulbs right? ",
No i have a REAL HID kit with bulbs,ballsts etc...
"If you had real hid's you wouldn't even have to put 6K bulbs in your high beams",
I dont "have" to i "want" to!, im also putting them into my fog lights.
Also, i think its illegal to have high wattage bulbs in your high beam housing....maybe thats just for HID's, i dont remember.
First of all standard halogen 9005 bulbs (high beam) are 65watts, 9006(low beam) are 55watts so they are "higher wattage" stock, Second of all HID's are LOWER wattage (35watts)than standard halogen bulbs, and if HID is illegal for high beams please explain OEM Bi-xenon???
The Ikon:"how long did it take to install the hid kit?"
How long does it take you to change a bulb?? its as easy as unplugging your stock bulb, removing it, replace with HID bulb and plug in the wiring from the car into the new HID ballast, also you need to mount the ballst wherever you want it.
Yes i do understand that PNP kist arent as good as a retrofit however for right now its good enough for me to be able to see at night,and its a MILLION times better than halogen, even my expensive PIAA bulbs, i have a long list of things to do before i go out and buy new housings i need($500-600) and then pay someone to retrofit them $$$$????
