hmm, sounds like a great invention. We can mount the controller boxes easily, the bulbs go right in, and I'm sure the wiring is explained. But I think what is also important is the aiming of the reflector and the heat that the bulb runs (hotter?). The stock reflectors are designed so that a standard bulb will position the filament at the focal point. This is to get light to the right places. If the HID kit places the light source at the right location, then it works out pretty well.

Thanks for the info, I will look into it more. The prices are about half of what you would pay for a complete kit, but that also includes the whole lamp fixture. Makes HID's a possibility for a lot of cars though.
