well i ordered some projectors from ebay for 200$ and ill have fun with those ... but i was think would they look even better with a HID kit ?? i mean like these http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20022.html
but is it tough to put in with the projectors ... because thats a good deal only 79.00 .. compared to ebay like 150 .. but let me know if i can make that kind of conversion because i know that hutchinson did it but idk if u had some special wiring ?? ... thanks everyone

1. The projectors use H1 bulbs, which don't come in the bi-xenon kits.

2. The HIDs are extremely easy to install. I had trouble installing them because I was trying to make it more complicated than it really way.

3. However, I found out that you'll probably have to buy a harness in order to give them enough power. I'm running one HID and one Halogen right now because I couldn't get both HIDs to work. lol See my topic "HID problems"

VVME is good, all i've ever bought and never had a problem, and they have a 14 month warranty so I can't complain.

The HID ballasts install just like any other. Now getting the bulbs into the projector itself is a bit of a pain. I found mine only fit in one way and I also had to cut the rubber boot to get my plug ends through and then I had to silicone it. Not a big deal though.

And that's that, it's just like any other system. I never had to use any wiring harnesses or anything so Idk why everyone else is having a problem with them.

ebay kits are $50 shipped, but if the warranty makes you feel better, go for it. its mostly plug and play, just follow the instructions and its easy.

lol, maybe there are some, but most are not. there are lots of different companies offering the same products. Here's one with wiring harness included: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-XENON...sspagenameZWDVW

They are all the same thing, no matter where you get them. They are made over in the far east, some people just choose to mark them up. (ZZP)
