catz zeta greatly reduces bulb life by putting more current through them than normal. they are brighter and more white in color, but nowhere near true HID. if youre gonna do something like that, get ricer whites, or else save up for real HID.

I've seen them in person on a 2001 Jetta (I dont think it was a zeta system, whatever it was required soldering to install, but it was a catz product) And I think I am definately going to do it on my car....looks awesome, and has a great increase in the light output.....if you use the Catz bulbs you get good bulb life, they are made to handle the extra wattage. I actually think it looks better than the HID you see on european imports....it's a very white light, instead of that bluish color.

There is no way it out equal a real HID output.

Catz makes great products, but again, the bulb like WILL be diminished no matter what brand bulb you use.

do not quote me on this, but i remeber seeing somewhere there is a life time guarantee on the bulbs. your best bet would be to call catz and see.

there are 2 kits out there. they made a h4 kit that was just pulg and play. but, that is now discontinued. there are just offering the other kit that requires cutting wires. i have the h4 for sale for $125 shipped.

I had the kit on my 6gen before, it was no where near HID brightness. It was little brighter than stock, easy to install(just need to know where to put the ballasts) and didnt blow up any bulb for a little over a year but I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't bright enough. The brightness was identical to high wattage bulbs I used b4 and you can't use high wattage bulbs on the zeta else it will melt all the wires. That's why I sold it. If you have the cash to pay 150+ for the kit, why not save another 250 and get real HID.
