HID Conversion

Yes...i had the standard issue amber holagen lights that i installed the HID conversion kit that Vertex sells $379. I don't have pics but the difference is unbelievable. I almost upgraded to the clear as you can get them used from a Porsche dismantler out in LA California. However, $1,000 for the pair with no increase in performance seems like a lot to spend for cosmetics.....i could not justify the expense.

honestly i'd put the real xenons on the car. i don't like the litronic kit for the fact that it doesnt have the look of the original xenon lights. meaning that it doesnt have the projector blub look, it sits behind the ugly plastic screen. where the original/real has this really nice projector blubs.

i have nighthawks clear blubs, that cost me $50, and to be honest they have lasted me 2 years now. they are just as good as the $399.00 vertex litronic kit.
the blubs also have a slight tint of blue, that look cool in complete darkness. regular street driving they are clear white...

spend the money on the real xenons, the look of the projector blub is well worth the $1400.00.

This is the projector blub that i'm talking about. the original real look. the other litronic kit does not have this look. it hides behind the plastic and really isnt worth 399.00.

i understand that these are expensive and not affordable, this is also why i have $50.00 nighthawks.

i attached a picture to show you how nice the real xenon kit looks. i'd like to someday do this conversion.
