****The official Whos making the DIY XENON Kit?****

[yellow02]

After understanding that there are no xenon kits for our cars, and a lot of talk of these kits. I am wonder who is acutally going to start to sell these, and at what prices? 500ish? anyone know anything more?

I just bought a kit 2 weeks ago from hid-online.com . Philips ballast, 4100K xenon bulbs and relay harness. It was $496. for the kit + $10. for shipping. From all appearances, very high quality components. I just finished the install yesterday. I'll post pics soon.

As I understand they are illegal to sell in the U.S. Hid-online.com is in England. It took 10 days to receive from the date of order.

I have the kit that Sean Roe sells/sold. After doing a little reading at http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/ i have changed the way i look at the HID retro kits. The entire webpage is eye opening and tells you how to reto HIDS and not blind people.

I use Sean Roe's kit as well. Works well, realatively easy to install. It's one extra I couldn't do without.

K = Kelvin it is basically the color of light. Our eyes like the higher color temperature. Daylight is rite around 5600K. And our eyes like daylight.
This is a real quick blurb on a very complex subject.

The HID replacement is for the low beam only (9005 lamp). The high beam (9011 lamp) remains stock(for my 97,not sure about the others). 4100K and 6000K is just the color tempurature. 4100K is as close to white as you can get(slight blue tint) and the highest light output. 6000K gives you a bluer tint but at a loss of light output. This chart should help.

The kit I was working on has been killed by the NHSTA... I am cut off from that supplier! I have another kit, similar style, but it is not DIY. Price would be around 650, INSTALLED.
