MAC. Been studying the HID thing a little closer:
1. The kit ($ 60 total) includes all 4 bulbs (2 headlights, low and high beam, and 2 DRL bulbs, they call 'm fog lights).
2. The big difference between this $ 60 set and the more expensive HID lights is the "Color temperature" you get. The cheaper set gets to 5500 K ("Ice White"). The more expensive sets (like the one from Breathless, I guess and the other one on eBay) has even a higher Color Temperature (in the 8000 Kelvin).
3. I chose to try out a deal the local automotive shop offered me: similar "cheap" set of all 4 front white (Xenon) lights for $ 30 (total!). And I tell you the white intense light it gives you is phenominal! I don't know if I could see a difference between 5500 K color temp or 8000 K.
4. And it's just replacement bulbs. No balasts or other extra wiring needed.
5. I would suggest to pass by your local automotive supply store and check out the lighting section for those blue/ice/white bulbs and bring the original bulbs for comparance (# 9007).
6. Of course I would like to hear suggestions of corrections from those more up to date on the HID subject.
You're welcome. JCJ
