Rep Power: 0 CATZ HID's HELP!
What do you guys think of them?

has anyone used them?
what does there installation involve?
they are true HID's right? as nice at the bimmers? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Are you talking about the Catz Zeta system? They are not true HID. They include ballasts which allow stock halogen bulbs to run higher watt. True HID is completely different.

Rep Power: 0 Well, I posted on this subject a while back but here it goes again:
If it is the Zeta system we're talking about, [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]STAY AWAY FROM CATZ ZETA SYSTEM!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
There............feel much better now! Anyhow, I used to have this cursed excuse for HID and the stupid bulbs kept blowing out every couple weeks. Also, it seems to be VERY affected by the slight dip in power whenever the A/C kicks in[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]...I'm talking about a VERY noticeable dimming effect, more so than w/ any other bulbs.
There you go....I may just have gotten a bad system but I would rather save up and get true HID's anyway.

Rep Power: 320 He is not talking about the CATZ Zeta.... CATZ has a new (REAL) HID system out now

Whatever you do go with phillips.... I like the Ultinon's the best.
The Ultinons have the purple/white light.... the regular phillips have the white light
HIDsforless.com is a good reference site but don't order from them.... they are wayyyyy to expensive
I'm sending the Email now

Did you get those pics I sent to you??
$640 is kinda expensive, but you do get hi/lo beams..... If you really want them, then get em. I'm sticking with Phillips only.
Go to this website and read a little.. SuvLights.com
