Does anyone have experience with these HID conversion kits?

I have a set of these {low beam only} in the wife's DD 1999 A4.
The car has projector type low beams and the glare and blinding
oncoming drivers seems not to be as much of an issue with them.
I did have them adjusted at an Inspection Station to lessen the
impact on oncoming cars.
She has no real need of High Beams when using these.

Yes, they are technically illegal.. and VERY obvious if you put them
in a make of car that didn't offer them as a Factory Option.
Like a lot of Honda's around here.

I have had them in that car for almost 2 years..

A few observations..

If you are going to buy a set, Buy 2 at the same time.
You will need bulbs and replacement ballasts in the future,
it is best to have them handy.
Running a questionable car with one light out with these is
a sure way to draw the cops.
I have replaced 1 bulb and 1 ballast so far and getting in contact
with the seller for a quick turn around for replacements was an issue.
I keep at least 1 spare bulb and ballast now.
When it comes time for an Inspection Sticker, which is
once a year here. I put the regular bulbs back in just to
simplify the process. Takes a few minutes to do it.

I wouldn't put them in a 914..
A 1970's era car would be far too obvious for me to risk it.
A set of halogen 100/135 H4 bulbs with relays would do the job nicely..
and keep you under the radar or the cops a lot better.

Just an opinion...
