I may put some Catz HID lights in, anyone done this yet?

[fakesnake.com]

An 01 Cobra owner I know bought a set of Catz HID lights for his Cobra. He didn't like all the boxes and wires so he never installed them. He ended up adding the Hella HID lights. The only problem is the Hella lights have no high/low beams just low.

It will definitely be tight finding hiding spaces for the boxes but it looks pretty straight forward on install.

Anyone try HID lights yet? I'm talking about the full conversion not just some upgraded bulbs.

I've always like HID lights....as for the room for the boxes and wires and stuff i have no clue but i'm sure you'll be happy with them. :thumbsup:

Good luck on the install. The only advice I have is to take your time, but you knew that already.

Mind if I ask the price for the kit? Do you have a link?

We haven't worked out price yet. I think they sell for about $600-700 new.


here's a general link-

what do you mean by good luck on the install? not flaming here, i was just under the impression that all the current HID kits (real ones) plug into your stock harnesses, and then the ballasts plug into the HID bulbs, which mount into your stock bulb location.

hey fake snake, I have no experience with the Katz kit--might be great--but do have with www.hidkits.com--only one small box per lamp & true plug & play with high/low beam--about the same money--have them on my Lightning for about a year with no problems. hope this helps --------rob

when i had my M3 everyone and their mother did an HID conversion, so they have a lot of experience with all of the different kits. there is a cheaper kit out http://www.misterjung.com/ looks to be promising, the last time i checked over on dtmpower.net and bimmerforums.com they worked out with good results, and the kits are only $350. i would buy a set but i am only doing performance stuff right now.

I know, I'm just saying good luck because I'm hoping he gets the results he's looking for.

ah ok, yeah there was no flame intended. yeah i am wondering what it will look like with our lenses as compared to a focused projector lens. someone on one of the boards had put a kit in. HIDs are a great mod, looks so awesome when you are driving at night. what temperature bulb are you gonna go with?
