They do look interesting....not for me though, I am sure the local constabulary would have issues with the coloured lights up front, then I suppose you could leave that part disconnected ??

It would be interesting to see a comparison of the beam patterns between that and HID converted OEM lights.  I suppose the angle lights could run as white DRLs.

These look the go. I've found with the HID conversion, that people aren't too happy with the extra light from the OEM headlight, even with the lights turned all the way down.

There seems to be a lot of stray, non focused light.

In the near future I'll be taking mine out and replacing with halogen globes again.
