Does anyone have experience with these HID conversion kits?

If you do go through with them, please at least upgrade to E-code headlamps (still not ideal, but really the only stockish looking option). The euro pattern has a finite light beam cutoff. Running HIDs in standard DOT housings scatters so much light that you end up blinding oncoming drivers.

I get so fed up with the import boys and wannabe hillbillies in their $40k jacked up trucks running around with the HID kits in DOT lenses. The issue gets compounded up in the PNW with all the rain in the wintertime. The glare is horrible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Another note, you want to make sure you get a bi-xenon kit...other wise you will lose you high beams.

To date, the best lighting system I've had on a car was the relayed halogen setup I had on my '89 VW GLi. Converted to quad round grille. E-code hi/low with center driving lights tied into the high beam switch. Both sets of lights running Silverstars.
