Insane discount - No affiliation etc etc but I just bought a digital HID set from this site for $149 shipped. 3 year warranty on digital ballast and 15 months on the bulbs. This deal ends on 1 Dec according to Dave. If you want some HIDs this may be the deal of the week. Here is the link http://www.dxhid.com/ Happy shopping.

Hyphenf15, thanks for the heads up. I just placed an order for H1 4500k kit from him for $149 with shipping. Looks like he's in the states so hopefully shipping will be faster than from the guy on Ebay from China. I'll post a follow up when I get them.

It's unnecessary to cut the rubber grommet. Just warm it up with a hair dryer and use a couple of smooth chopsticks to carefully stretch open the hole. Pull the chopstick out as you insert the plug ends and the ballast plugs will just fit through. No need to cut or even remove the rubber grommet. Your ballasts will be dry and look like a factory install.
I didn't heat mine up but also used a couple of prying devices to get the grommet stretched so the connector would slip through.
Not real easy but I definitely wouldn't cut or drill. A silicone lube would also make it easier. Good idea on the heat.

There was no shipping charge for the set I purchased from Dave at DXHID.com and the group discount made the decision even easier. The only bad part is I might have to wait until x-mas to officially open my present.
Ron,
I hope they turn out to be as good as advertised. Certainly can't be price and I can't wait to install them.

I saw that article too and it raises some good points. Our lights have a projector type design that is similar to most designs for HIDs. I think the article is aimed more at people who try to put an HID lamp in a conventional reflector headlamp like that found on most earlier cars. I "tested" my installation against a wall before and after and the HID light projection pattern appears to be pretty much the same as with the stock halogen. The other thing that reassured me is that the lens part numbers for the standard and litronic are the same. There are different part numbers for the headlamp unit itself but I suspect the differences are mostly around the differences in wiring for the ballasts (remember the original litronics have part of the electronics in the headlight).
