Yeah DONGS still doing good business on EBAY... He told me he stopped his vendorSHIP here coz it wasnt really getting him too many customers compared to what he was paying for the Vendorship. I can link u to his EBAY link. let me know if ur interested. Hes a very good friend of mine :-)

That's where I bought my pnp kit last year. Prolumen 5000K PnP H.I.D. Lifetime Warranty
I paid $300 for them last year & I have no problems with them

Most of those $100 kits are not that great

I always liked Dongs PNP kit, it looked like good quality, just never got around to getting it. Hey mani, PM that link.

i dont know how to do a retrofit on a oem guys... so does that mean i have to get aftermarket headlights ..projectors..?

it would be easier, because then you dont have alot of custom work, you just swap out the projector, provided the new one fits in there. valeo d2s projectors usually fit our aftermarket lights without much effort.

Thats a very good Option right there. Im guessing the price is going to be low too ? Am i right Gearbox ?

neway the dude who said abt $100 Hid's being bad. Well Sometimes u find something good for a low price man. Its not always that u get bad quality stuff for a cheap price i joke !

You should definitely try out Dongs product though, For $125 or so its a very good product. I wrote Dong to send me a link. Illl update over here asap i get it ok... thanks

If you retro go slow when you approach an uphill because you won't see $hit above the cutoff line also HID's are less reliable than halogen bulbs

i can vouch for that, my oem valeo ballast died after 6 months cause water got in. with more electronics comes more problem. with a halogen bulb, it just plugs in to power and ground. simple technology. if you do go hid, i would only recommend the nissan matsushita ballasts which are completely potted in thermal epoxy and can most likely even work underwater. most other design ive seen have no place under the hood of a car. its prolly what ill get sometime down the road if i decide to try hid again. i found some rare ECE valeos with clear lens and the cutoff slopes up much higher for better "above normal cutoff" viewing without blinding oncoming traffic. ..altho it might blind someone in front of me hehe.

same with the e39's. it took me less than 30 mins to mount mine in my ebay housings. 2 of the 3 holes lined up perfectly. the only cutting I had to do was on the back of the housing since the e39 is only about 2/3 as deep as the stock halogen.

here is a link to my work in progress. if you have any questions, ask away.
