k-
would appreciate if you could itemize the parts (including part names) used
in your modification. e.g. which kit, which ballast, which bulb, which wiring, etc?
tnx! (oh, that beam photo looks very nice....and i wish all HID kits would perform
similarly. this just means you got off lucky as the halogen lens just happened to
have matched the focal point of your Franken-bulb. great!

I ordered the Kit off K1 Motorsport and they provide all the Bulbs with wires, ballasts, and everything else. the temp for the bulb is 8000k tho
I also didn't have to bring the car back to dealer to change the computer system..

(need to Thanks " RJ50" for the info about the kit)

That beam looks horrible. Get the real deal and change the projector lens.

It should be a clean cut. You have too much light scatter. Compare a Xenon projector to a Halogen projector.
