Looks like a nice kit but I have never heard of it myself. I am also shopping around right now. :iono:

i think Mcculloch HID kits are the best bang for your buck. That kit seems a tad bit pricy but nonetheless a good buy.

I fail to see how $400 headlights are a "good buy". Someone please tell me why some folks are willing to pay such exorbitant prices for them.

iono. i have friends who bought the $150-$200 HID conversion kits and their stuff went out on them pretty quickly. Even my buddy with the $400 dollar kit fried his stuff about a month ago but lasted longer compared to the $150-$200 kit. You get what you pay for. Better to go with retrofit but i think the $400 kit is better than the $100-$200 kits

I have looked in to the Bi-Xenon's and they look like they would be more trouble then they are worth, moving parts in the bulb is just setting it's self up for failier

I agree, except it's not just the bi-Xenon's, it's HID's all together. They're to expensive and to unreliale for me to justify purchasing them. Yeah, they look sweet, but I can see just fine at night without them.

HID's may not make sense to everyone, but where I live seeing a deer 10 feet earlier could save your ass thousands of dollars. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone total a Yaris hitting a deer at the right speed. There are a million stupider things people spend $400 on than HID's, a mod that functions as much as a safety feature as it does for the bling factor. They need to be installed right, though, or you did just waste your money.

were not saying nix the HID's just that the bi-xenon's were not a good buy due to moving parts that have the ability to fail.

I had a Catz Bi-Xenon system on a Civic. Was around $500. Worked really well. Had to finally retire the system because I could not find a replacement bulb for a burned out unit - Catz pulled out of the US market. I recommend going with an established brand so you don't get left high and dry.

Its a KIT christ...uts ugly and not & never gonna be better than retrofit. That "conversion kit" can get you all the stuff (not tools) to do a retrofit.

you can make a kit look fine and function fine if you install correctly, it has been done, I think this kit is pricey and as stated by other memebrs moving parts could fail
can't wait to see your hack job

ha, well
a conversion kit simply is what it is and you can get good results from it if you do a little tweaking
retro fit is great and you if have the time and money and a spare set of headlights it is certainly another way to go:thumbsup:

retrofit = more pride, my ride, lights up the road so stuff don't hide
conversion = to shiny so i blind people left and right, my lights all scattered so i ain't see nothing right
iono sorry haha conversions can work in your favor if installed correctly and tweaked or modified a bit somehow. b(^^b)

for conversions I'd go with the brand you already sought out which was the mcculloch or something.
for retrofit i'd go with any OEM projectors that aren't damaged

I am not trying to promote or sell these but there is a vendor here selling kits for 210. and he is offering a 2 year warranty. I don't see even the "top" brands offering a 2 year warranty. I am still thinking about trying his kit. May be something to consider. Comes with the harness too.:smile:
I wish someone would try them out so I could see some pics.
