Interesting read on HID's

About $450 or so.. Xenon Depot phillips 4300k.. There was a big group buy a few years back.

Damn I spent that much retrofitting in S2K HID's into my stock housings.

Freakygeek can vouch for how damn bright they are.

i get high beamed occasionally in my S2K... its OEM :S

[kavehman]

S2k is reputed to have the best Projector out there for low beam light after the massive LS430 projectors.

S2k is one of the sharpest, widest beams out there. They have to be aimed incredibly precisly.

Kaveh's S2k's are definitely cool.

I used to do more night time highway driving, so the Highbeam advantage the X5 bixenon's have suited me very well..

Yeap your right, I think you need to take high beam into consideration if you use them a lot.

Mine are pretty much useless.

Yep, HID PnP kits are generally shite, and most often dangerous for other road users. And many kits that use ridiculous colour temperatures (ie. > 6000k) actually provide the driver with LESS usable light on the road.

Only headlights that are designed for HID will provide the light spread required to make HID a safe and worthwhile option... Hence why I retrofitted BMW X5 BiXenon projectors into my DC2R.

hi mate,

Where did you source the headlights / projectors from and how much ??

Thanks!!
