Yeah I am sticking with my PIAA H4 Xtreme, too late for me to get Real HID since I have no clue how long I will have this ride. I also heard those run real hot and don't last as long anyone else hear that?

I had it and the bulbs look cool--they have sort of a rainbow effect--but they kept blowing out every few weeks, even with a relay....I just gave up and sold the system to a co-worker.

You're better off saving your money and getting a true HID system or sticking with cheap HID-look bulbs...just my opinion, though.

I've got Catz. Been using them since over 6 months. They work great. You really should use their bulbs though.

Might go HID when the prices come down more. There seem to be some cheap imitations on the market. With the Philips you don't have any high beams though.

basically, the catz-zeta system do is increase your voltage so high that it brightens your halogen bulb bey9nd it's limits. advantage? cheap, effective, bright. dis advantage? the bulbs die out REALLY fast, more light = less heat = melt plastic/glass/light housing

Voiceofid,

Do you have personal experience with this? I've had mine for over 6 months. When should I expect the bulbs to go and/or the housings to melt?
