HID conversion

You should do a forum search. We have a member, Slantsixdan that is an automotive lighting engineer.

As he says, most of these are junk. Often these products do not meet minimum safety requirements. More often, these cheep products, were are designed by people that don't know the first thing about automotive lighting.

He does recommend a couple HID kits (he is not selling this stuff), the real deal stuff will cost you $900ish.

I get what your saying as I have read a lot of Dan's stuff and he does know what he's talking about. However, a friend of mine bought his kit from this supplier and it made me skeptical about the accuracy of the light output also. Fortunately we have a friend that has an inspection station with a lighting analyzer. we installed this kit in two of his cars, one being an old ford comet, and the other a 2008 mustang. Both were using the 4500k pure white bulbs. We did a before and after on both vehicles. there was an increase in lighting output of nearly 40% over the old incandescent bulbs in the comet and an increase of 20% over the halogens in the mustang.

That's real data that we collected because I was a nay sayer on these. Mainly because of all the reading I did on Dan's threads. Now i'm not saying Dan is wrong by any means, but this kit does show an improvement over factory lighting.
