Please give us a call. We can get you a kit. I have installed many kits in the past that have had a few glitches, so please be aware buying HIDs from out of state.

Thank you for your offer, and I can get the entire kit directly from ACA (the manufacturer) for $875, but my interest is to see if anyone has installed them on the vehicle and how they like them.

Check with Glenn (ICULUKN) I believe that he has HID lights.

I know that he says they light up the night like it was daytime.

there are several paths you can go here

HID with a Projecor lamp (the round fishbowl glass thingie)

PRO: bright, works great.

CON: expensive

HID inside the factory lamp

PRO: much less, around $400 for the parts.

CON: against DOT laws (Gasp! oh no!) "fuzzy" light pattern. Like factory but brighter.

110/90watt light inside a Euro Spec light (t86)

This is a glass lamp that was used overseas for the euro vetts.

PRO: 70% of the light output vs HID. Sharp defined light pattern (like the projection lamp). you can find used for $260.

CON: you cant brag that you have HID

I have teh euro spec lights bought on a luckey guess. I wanted HID, but I dident have the $$$.

After installing, its not worth the $700 for the 30% light increase.

my 2 cts

cheers

Um...I know this doesn't really apply, but I do have HIDs on my bike, and they are AMAZING! :yesnod It is a mod for the 'vette that I certainly plan on in the future. The stock lights bite.

I have the HID's... from the technical standpoint they are illegal as HIDs are supposed to reflect the light instead of project a beam. My HID's make high beams look dim.

I also have the PIAA 1100x foglights which is a HUGE improvement over stock.

I have the High output plug-ins..... It provides some improvement over stock, but you get what you pay for :bang
