I just upgraded mine with a Phillips brand kit & not only was it very easy, but retains the hi/low function. Very bright & the color range is 6000k so it is VERY white. Price on the kit was around $300.00, but I think it was well worth it.
a very smart young man once sang a song with a chores that goes"move bitch get out the ,get out the way bitch ,get out the way ' thats what i plan on singing while driving down the road with hids installed .....screw that crap man your improving you headlights if somones dumb enough to stare at your headlights while driving whos to blame to moron who looked or you??? ild put the blame on the genius who decides to stare into a headlight.....but hey thats me i get blinded at work by headlights unintentionally all the time an have yet to careen off the road an die in a fiery car crash yet
that's just wrong..
the whole point behind projectors and aftermarket housings for hid's is because of the added control of the light. when you just throw hids in the factory housings--esp housings that use a single reflector for both the high and low beams-- you are risking a accident, because the light gets thrown everywhere.
it is the same effect as if you drove around with a led light bar powered up on regular roads. and that has been well published here that those are illiegal due to the extra light 'wash' that is being created. this is because people loose track of where the road markings are-- and that can create all sorts of problems..
the only thing i don't fully understand is who's fault that would be, though, i suspect it would be the person with the illegal lights..
not to mention the possible effects of melting the reflectors due to the extra heat that the hid's create(there has also been some speculation that cheap hid kits output more uv radiation then better quality kits, which, if correct, would mean that those kits would be creating even more heat)..
