Yep, no more high beams...But you really dont need them. The Phillips Ultinon are high quality, but they are pretty pricey.

thats all you need to know...if youre going to spend some serious $$ on HID's, might as well go with some reputable company that backs up their product; otherwise, you risk the chance of some low quality HID's frying the headlight housing or even burning out like the PIAA's...

Yeah Han, thats a great kit. I've been told those Ultinon bulbs arent that purple though. They're supposed to look like the Le Mans cars. Kind of green/white/blue. Most kits are between $530 and $600. I got my 6000K bulbs from autolites and the beam pattern is very good. Do some research though before you buy though. I just have the autolites bulbs with BOSCH ballasts and ignitors. I'm not sure how good they're ballasts and ignitors are. I know they're not Philips.

Yup, it is, I was supprised too when I asked them by email It took me a few days of search before I dediced to go to the autolamps because they manufactured HID for the auto manufactures.

Well do you want to keep wasting money on superwhites? HIDs you just install them, and forget about them.
