must say those are pretty neat considering it's for someone who has the original frosty xenon that wants to upgrade to bi-xenon look without paying bi-xenon price.

Doesn't seem like such a great idea to me.

If you're ripping out the stock frosty xenons for some Depo lights (or whatever knockoffs these are), you're better off converting to 55w HID anyways since it's quite a bit brighter than 35w HID.

I highly doubt that these headlights are using quality projectors designed for HID anyways.
