Itc- why would you spend $3,750- I am a purist also but this one is hard to justify as if you install IN the light housing, you can't see the product but only the "light". No holes to drill, it can be instantly returned to "stock"........

Just seemed like it might be easier to go with an OEM kit, complete and keep the existing headlights for returning it to stock, if desired.
Just seems cleaner, less DIY.
I know the Euro to USD doesn't help, I'm sure the kit would be a bit cheaper from Sunset Imports.

The original lights are really kept as stock- its plug and play BOTH ways of the conversion- at a moments notice you can bring it right back to the factory set up- no holes, no tell-tale signs.....
I know some good charities if you want to give away money......

There are also apparently 2 different part numbers for each side (driver/passenger) of the Litronic lights; I was never able to get an authoritative word on the difference between the two, but perhaps it's the presence or lack of auto-leveling.
In the end, the lack of auto-leveling for the OEM retrofit kit is what made my decision easy. The aftermarket kit gave me the exact same functionality at 5% of the cost, with no holes to drill or factory wires to cut, so it's completely reversible.

I've just ordered on ebay, a 55W kit.
I'm waiting for the delivery, wondering at what place I' going to install the ballasts.
I saw that many of you have put them inside the headlights.
No problem of T° going too high in a such small and hermetic place ???

Okay, I've been watching this thread and will likely pull the trigger soon... however, there was no mention in this thread about how to get the headlight assemblies out. How much hastle is involved in that? The wiring does not look like an issue at all. I just don't know how to get the healights off and how to re-aim the lights if that is required.

Removing the assembly is easy, and is well described in the owners manual. So is aiming the headlight. I screwed up aiming the headlight though and stripped one of the adjusting screws. Ended up buying a new assembly. Oh well. It was still worth it. Anyone need a headlight assembly (right) cheap? Good for spotting airplanes as it points up.

I got my HID kit today and had them installed in about 20 minutes. It is VERY easy!!! They are awesome but now I hate the way the high beams are yellow and the lows are nice and white. Geuss I gotta change out the high beams now. For all of you that havent done this yet, it is a no brainer!

I got it from a guy on ebay whose ebay name is HIDSIN Look at item number 120192446929. I emailed them and offered $99 shipped and they took it. They sent me a paypal invoice and I paid it and 5 days later I have my kit.
