Default HID conversion Kit - BIG DIFFERENCE!

I just received my HID conversion kit last night for H13 bulbs. People told me save my money get Silverstars, but heck I just had to go with the HID conversion kit and WOW they are SO different, one bulb does more than the two did before! I haven't installed my passenger light yet so I thought I'd show yall what they looked like in a side by side comparison...I am more than pleased with this system. Xenon 8000K on the left, HID 8000K on the right...lovin it

I'll have to look into it when I can afford to. They look sharp.

When did you get your new grill?

while back, Putco had a factory second because of a small error on the grille so I grabbed it for $40...can't even see the error made . Yeah I understand, I've wanted to upgrade to these new lights for about a year, just not willing to spend the money and other kits are highly expensive. these only being $130 helped, and I said what the heck, why not!

I was wondering a few things. I had HID's on my BMW and I really miss them, so I'm looking to get this kit.

1. Do you loose your high beams with this kit? These are only the low beams right?

2. How easy was this kit to install, where there are modifications you needed to make the housing?

I really appreciate your input.

Thanks!

Yes, only low-beams..

as for the other question, that I can not answer. I would assume simple plug and play with the addition of having to mount the ballasts somewhere as the only extra mod.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
