The problem with the xenon lamps that just fit in place of the halogen bulbs is that They will put out a more white light but the beam pattern will be poor and will dazzel other drivers.

If you want good xenon lamps then buy the BMW xenons and retro fit them. There are loads of people on this board who had xenons from before 2001 who upgraded to the 2001 lamps and now have their old xenons for sale.

I need somebody to sell theirs or something because $1200-1600 is too much to spend on headlights...at least until I've graduated. Are the kits really that bad?

Anyone with pictures?
