Oracle HID kit
I came across this Oracle HID kit (no association)
http://www.automotivelightstore.com/...&Category=2732
Does anyone have any experience with this particular set up? Seems kind of expensive.

HID kits are pretty much the same. Why do you need a fancy carrying case when you're installing them in the car? I get my stuff from bavtoys.com in Miami.

They sell mostly to BMWs, but I have gotten HIDs for my 911. You just need to identify the type of bulb in your housing and they will send you the proper rebase. That is pretty much how all aftermarket retrofits work.

HID lamps in reflector housings are unsafe for many reasons. Here's more info on the subject:

If you want improved lights get H4s - much better pattern than the H5s 964 cars came with in the States.

I agree with Ilko, HIDs in the OEM buckets is a bad combination. You are literally spraying your light all over the place, which is not safe or polite for oncoming traffic. This kit referenced by the OP is, as stated by someone else, just a normal HID kit with bulbs and ballasts. You can get these anywhere, for a lot less too. For example, DDMTuning has them for $65 (http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=101&parent=60).
Completely OT for Ilko:
Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do!

The success rate of HIDs in reflector housings is zero. You need a projector housing. If you could drop HID lights in reflector housings, car manufacturers would be doing it themselves.

I can't find it now, but I was looking at a thread yesterday with a link to kits that included a housing that looked like it might work with our cars. If someone saw it and remembers where....please post a link!
