[QUOTE="SHiZNiLTi, post: 2408785, member: 561248"] You can pick up a "cheap" HID kit for about $150-$200 on ebay. I've had my "cheap kit" for about 2 years now and it's been working great. I went with the 8000k [IMG]http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3276/dealerfn8.gif[/IMG] kit and really enjoy it. I replaced my factory headlight assembly with a all clear diamond back assembly and the light output is amazing. Even though it's a 8000k kit I can still notice huge improvement over my stock lighting. I upgraded for the looks of it and the funcionality. Without my "cheap" HID kit I would not be able to see at night because I've got my entire windshield tinted with 35%. I've made about 300+ posts on HID forums researching retrofitting and have even bough a set of Audi TT E46 xenon projectors with D2S bulbs, but getting them lined up just right is a ***** and takes alot of trial and error. I sold mine since my cutoff line didn't have that much color to it. I tried adjusting the cutoff metal shield, but it just didn't give me enough sparkling blueish purple light that I wanted. I say go with the "cheap kit" and just hope that you get lucky with the life expectancy of the ballast' startes and ulbs as I did with mine. If you do your research you will notice alot of people have defective kits or kits that have failed in like 6 months. good luck! [/QUOTE]
