E-code + HID, Was LAC! hella's eurobeam? eurotrash?

[David]

Well, the place I got my kit appears to be gone. But, I've found the same kit at http://www.brightheadlights-hid.com/hid-h4.htm The one I got is on the right side of the page and it's called Bi-Xenon HID-Plus and is priced at ~$550. IIRC, I paid about that same price. By the way, you do NOT want any of those HID kits that say that they are in the 6,000-12,000k range. Those are the stupid blue/purple lights. They make far LESS light than a proper 4,300k HID capsule. Anywhere from 4,000-4,500k is the optimal temperature range for getting the most light (in terms of lumens) out of any light source.

A couple more places that have bi-xenon H4 kits are:
http://www.xenonking.com/philips_4300.htm
http://www.xenonvalot.com/tuotteet_eng.html

Note: I have never dealth with any of these vendors...the one I bought from is no longer in business (the domain is for sale). So, be cautious with whom you choose.

That said, I think putting a bi-xenon HID kit in my e-codes was about the best lighting decision I've ever made. Seriously bright, but due to proper aiming and the sharp e-code cut off...they don't blind/dazzel others...
