i dunno but id really like to do HID in my car.

eg lighting sucks cock

lots of people retrofit the CL HID's into their stock headlights i guess.

any car that only has one bulb like a eg's sucks to do hid, you can buy a hi/low hib kit but they are fat cash.

E55's are the most common. www.hidplanet.com is your best source for it.

I bought a name brand full kit off egay for under a hundred dollars shipped, i was just patient and this one came up. Never used, i tested it and it works great, just havent gotten around to installing it yet, but the added light is a plus, it might aide in saving the life of a pedestrian or two with the way my night time driving has been going lately! :P

If they cant see a car with normal headlights and hear it coming they deserve to get hit

does your plug and play kit consist of running wires to the battery from the ballasts? Just curious, cause I would much rather have one that does NOT since in my moms car the battery is in the trunk :S

this is the original plugs from the power source you would plug into your headlight too power the stock bulbs.

you would plug the original plugs in to this and the goes into the headlights to power the HID's

nah there's no scatter at all its brighter than any bemmer's light i've seen so far and thats on low beam. and for the ed and eg's im not sure cuzz the reason y there's no scatter from my headlights is cuzz there's no flutes, im not sure if your have em but my boys DA we had to sand down the flutes and put projectors on em( but you dont have too put projectors).
