This week was spring break for me. I did not go to Florida, or Cancun, or the Bahamas like some people I know. I stayed in miserable cold Connecticut and worked. So I figured I was allowed to spend $60.00 on myself and take a bit of a risk on a hokey eBay Xenon kit for my 9-5 that came with Halogen headlights. I ordered them Tuesday evening for a grand total of $60 and they were delivered this morning. The eBay store was "HID Direct" and the seller's ID is "supervtec." If you're thinking about doing this, use this guy. I am very impressed. 'Nuff said.
Installation was very straight-forward. I started taking apart the intake and MAF and stuff but figured I would just remove the headlight assemblies. Good thing I did. I used two-sided tape to mount the ballasts just under and behind the headlight assemblies. I drilled holes in the bulb covers and ran the wires through those and everything worked very well. I aimed the lights down a little (1/4 of a turn maybe) and they are great. I drove home from my grandmother's tonight. I think I passed probably 100 cars and no one flashed their high beams at me. Follow the link for more pictures.
