Well, replaced my second generation blotchy beam HID headlights with the new Projector Beam HID ones that come in a billet chrome plated housing. Supposed to be the same ones used in the new Dodge Viper and New Cadillac. Easy install (easer than the previous HID units) and got to take a night drive with them and WOW............these make the X2020 units in my Suburban second place. Honestly, these are HID on low and high beam using one HID element by an internal eyelid so to speak that covers a portion of the beam during low beam operation and when you turn on high beam it opens the spread. I was driving under a dark underpass at night and the light on low was incredible.......so I decided to try the high beam and WOW again......it lit up the freeway signs way down the freeway like it was daylight.

These units are $379 per side and are worth every penny IMHO........If you guys (or ladies) are interested, I will post some pictures of them in the vehicle..........the light is not blotchy it is just like my Cad and my neighbors new 7 series BMW.......

Cool! I have the same Projectors in a Jeep Wrangler - also one of the early models...

Would you mind me using your pictures on my website, www.oman4x4.com to show they can be fitted to other vehicles, not just Jeeps?


I too love them, and when the time comes for me to get an SUT, it will get these for sure.

I have had those lights in my Hummer for 3 months now. I got a set from Valeo Sylvania to try and use. You have a to do a little modifications to fit but it is worth it. The light is incredible. Plus I no one ever flashes me. On hi beam they are like light cannons. They need to offer a kit to make them plug and play. I posted pics of these a while ago in a yellow H2. You have to get used to the look but one you see the light, you won't care about the bulging eyeball look.

email me at jwn@sgi.net with any quesitons. I can take pics and tell you how to fit them in an H2. The manufactuer is Valeo-Sylvania located http://www.xesighting.com/

Are there glass covers ???.........Answer......The projectors have a glass lens over them and the inside of the housings have a motor that opens a lens to change from low to high beam.It rained really hard a few weeks ago here in So Cal and it was not only great to have all the light driving in the rain but the lights didnt get any rain or condensation........they are sealed and had no problems.........Im here in Orange County for any of you in the area and want to get a look at them I can make myself available for a night drive...........and as 89Vette said....once you get used to the look and see the light these put out you will be very happy......I actually like the look now that I have gotten used to it and I love the light output.

I guess I should have said, "I want the Bi-Xenons I paid for!" F%$kers.

And to answer your question, YES. Bastards.

By the way, if you don't want to wait on SoCalHummer's response, you can go to hidtech.com and get the lights for $1,899 plus shipping of course.

Does HIDTECH have a contact #? I couldn't find one on their site.

Here's their kit.

I've got to admit I'm intrigued, too.

Ok guys,

Here I go again proving I am a neophite when it comes to HID lights.

Can anyone tell me how these lights differ from the http://www.h2source.com/201-124-1.htm

SMA H2 Xenon HID Headlight KitSKU: 201-124-1

SMA is proud to offer a Xenon HID Headlamp Kit for the Hummer H2. This kit is designed to be easily installed and features a DOT approved 7 inch reflector w/ a Xenon low beam and a Halogen high beam. The Xenon low beam remains lit while the high beam is activated. This kit includes all the necessary wiring and installation instructions. This is the only HID kit available for the H2 that is DOT approved.Add to cart for actual price.


I purchased these and they S%$&K!!!

Sorry Jason!

I don't want to make that mistake again.

So Cal, do the projectors have some sort of glass housing on top of the projectors? Or is it just the projector unprotected?

Sorry, NJ, I was referencing another thread where HIDHQ.COM does not seem to be on the up and up and the $1899 price tag is ridiculous. I didn't mean to say HIDTECH, although the guys at HIDHQ said you can't trust the guys at HIDTECH either.

SoCal said he got his for $750. He also said easy install, so the retro-fitting must be at a minimum. I have the Xenarcs but SoCal's review made my ears perk up. I bet you two have very similar lighting systems, do you agree with his assesment on how they perform?

Are these just regular Xenon Hella bi-xenon projectors with chrome bezels? Or are these projectors something else? I would love to see some pics of the light pattern, if you have them. Thanks!

That was my post.........you do need to make a small adjustment to the hole where the light comes through the fiberglass but its not very much and trust me I am not the type of person that likes to cut on my vehicles but this wouldnt even be noticeable if you went back to the stock headlights later like I will to use them in another vehicle. I have an H2 SUT on order and once its in I will be taking these HID units out and placing the stock lights back in my H2 so I can use the HID ones in my new SUT...........here are a few pics
