I'll chime in since I have the eagle eyes... The H3 fog bulbs that come with the eagle eye's are clear. A silverstar bulb with the eagle eyes will be a significant improvement over the OEM lenses. I have the eagle eye's with HID's and I'm very happy with it. I've never had anyone flash their high beams at me at night.

never had a glare problem with standard halogen housings using hid bulbs. simply aim them. i've purposely had someone drive my car while i sat in another car just to see how much glare there was. no more than standard halogen bulbs. even stock halogens glare, it's just that they're dimmer than hids' which is why peopel think the HID is at fault. it's not, it's just brighter everywhere.

With the 1st Gen, the design of the headlight is such that the lens scatters the light in a way that you can't really adjust them down to stop the glare. The light just fly's everywhere. I had tried HID's in my 1st Gen with the OEM headlight lenses and people were flashing their high beams at me on a regular basis. So I went with the Eagle Eye's & HID's. I can see so much better and no one flashes their high beams at me anymore.

They don't list the 5000k on their website, but if you call them, they have them.
I considered the quality of the ballasts in the Volt kit to be very good, so I kept them. They are slim ballasts with a relatively low draw at startup.
I haven't had any problems with either of the lights turning off or not coming on with this configuration. I did experienced this problem in the past with a different kit. The issue was caused by a defective ballast from day one.
I never ran Silverstars with the Eagle Eye's. I went straight to HID's when I put the Eagle Eye's in. Otherwise I would have had to modify the bulb sockets on my 1st Gen to accept the 9003 Silverstar bulbs.

I'm thinking about getting the eagle lights for my 94 but when i looked for them on ebay, in the auction description it says that its not compatible with hids? How are some of you guys able to use hid kit with yours?
Heres a link to the ones i'm talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...item20afb02880
Right now my current setup is stock headlights with an aftermarket hid kit. My driver side headlight has a broken tab so the light sags a little bit and it bothers me. I looked on ebay for a replacement but they're so expensive. I want better lighting so i'm thinking about switching to the eagle headlights if they can be used with my hid kit that i have now.

I didn't mean for it to be a personal criticism of your set up...
