Hi all,
My H4 headlights are 30 years old and of course the reflector is not in good shape. As 914 lights are not really efficient at the base, you can understand that now night driving is a nightmare ... So I can buy the same new H4 headlamp, but or ... ... things like "7' HID Composite Conversion Kit" we can find on eBay (example HERE) They are cheaper than glass headlamps, but the main question is about their efficiency. Are these things better than conventional H4 glass headlamp ? |

$800 - $1000 for an HID setup was the going price, but it seems that you should be able to get something for substantially less now.. For instance, here's one for H4s...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2457100016 even cheaper yet: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2455214876 So its true that they are not as cheap as the pseudo-HID lights, but they are probably more 914-friendly.. Consume 35 watts rather than 100+ = run cool. -Tony |
