The site should still be up. I just checked it and it still works for me. I return to that site at least once a week for reference.

you can try to use hid bulb part nbr 85123.......supposedly thy omit a white/purple to it.
that's what im using now with my retrofit. you have to change yr stock projectors in order to get
the most output light so to compared to benz and bmw's.

and dont 4get, you will need to spend at least 600.00 for everything:
bulbs, ballasts, projectors, custom bracket, wiring harness, relay, etc...

here check this out, this is what I am planning on getting. Genuine phillips ballast, overall looks pretty good. Plus its listed as one of the suggested retailers on Rich's site (intelexual).

If you are going for the cheesy blue color than go with phillips ultra-somthings? But BMW and everybody else use a 4100k bulb in their OE applications.

vredniykot:

do you have any pictures of your beam pattern with the HID kit installed (it is a kit right? not a retrofit?)

Thanks

Only get a kit that has either Phillips or Osram bulbs. Osram makes a 4100k bulb and Phillips makes a 4300 and a 6000k bulb. The 4100/4300 are pure white whereas the Phillips 6000k has a purplish tinge to it. Xenondepot sells a quality kit, but get the one with Phillips bulb. STAY AWAY FROM NON NAME BRAND BULBS!!!!! They don't last.

Hello,

Just about to leave to the airport however I figured I would respond to your questions:

1) The Xtreme line of HID products use Asian components. Having said that, we have had tremendous success with our Xtreme line and the product is covered by a one year warranty. We stand behind our products 100%.

2) The XenonDepot line of Philps based kits are as follows:

Philips based 4300k HID Conversion kit: $399.99
Philips based 6000k HID Conversion kit: $499.99

Regards,

Steve

Thanks V,

So, I changed my mind. I'm not buying these

Because.....I just bought these last night.

http://www.xenondepot.com//product.php?product_id=8

$420.00 Shipped. These should go nicely with the new headlight assmblys I ordered last night.

ok, I'm going to go let my credit card cool off now.
