Xenon HID Conversion PLUG & PLAY

Anybody try these or seen them in person?

I'm trying to upgrade my headlights but want to keep the price reasonable with plug n play.

With everyone complaining about PnP HID conversion kits, ANY PnP would be bad right? The one that KI_ZN6 in his photo that he has of his HID vs OEM the cut offs seem exactly the same. Would this blind people?

it takes 2 seconds in photoshop to correct a photo to have any sort of beam pattern you want.


the best comparison would be an FRS with plugs and a BRZ with the real deal

IN PERSON

maybe some light meter testing done at 50-100 feet.

Someone posted a picture of this, a BRZ vs 50W PNP HIDs and the BRZ looked a million times better. I swear.

I have a RetroQuik kit waiting to be installed in my FRS, that will be a HUGE boost in night driving for me. Considering winter in SK can be dark from 6pm till 9am..I will appreciate them.

I have actually seen KI_ZN6 HID kits in person.

Just hung out with cRazy604's Asphalt FRS yesterday and the light output is a lot better however there is a little bit of a haloing effect when he was driving behind me. Slightly blinded as some light does hover up but a lot better than a lot of other kits I have seen.

I would say this is pretty livable but I would retrofit if you can.
