Here is the story...it is a sad lonely and expensive journey through my past 10 months whith HID's

First of all I purchased a HID set from http://www.misterjung.com for about $419 and was almost scammed. It took about 3 months to get a complete working set into my car.
I was very happy with them and then one of my headlight seals decided to break and I had condensation inside my drivers side light. This gave me the great idea to do the Audi A6 Projector conversion for my teg.

I sold my HID kit to a fellow member for $275 and a carbofiber wire cover and bought the A6 kit on ebay. Tried to make it work but failed so I was stuck with a whole kit that would not fit into my headlights and out $375 plus about $50 in materials and 9006 halogen bulbs (used for the fit rings).

After breaking one of the Audi bulbs I decided to buy a new bulb on ebay for $39 shipped and tonight i found out that the bulb is too large to fit inside the housing. However I found this out after I took my dremel to the bulb and made it un-returnable.

So at this point I have spent $608 and all I have is a set of Audi A6 Hella ballasts and two HID bulbs that will not fit into my headlights. What would you do in this situation?

Here are my choices:

1. Buy a kit from http://www.xenondepot.com for $500 and forget all about my previous follies (that is if they can still sell them)

2. Buy two rebaised bulbs from http://www.xenondepot.com for $270and fit them into my car using the balast I currently have.

3. Give up on everything and try to sell my butchered A6 ballasts on ebay for $100 or something.

What would you do and does anyone else have any ideas???

Clifnotes: Spent $608 so far and have nothing to show for it...have three choices to fix the problem and have to pick one.

 

forget about it?

i would just say fwak it and sell everything, it's only light, not like you broke a cam and bent a valve

 

just buy some bulbs or a complete hid kit at

You can always convert the D2R bulb into a D2S one. It's easy.

 

Get the Xenon Depot kit

Ask for Steve or Frank

I got my kit & have no problems with it

it is truly plug & play

you will not regret it

 

You should have just bought a Catz kit from Trevor over at http://www.visualdynamics.ca it's a simple plug and play kit..I got mine from him, no regrets here!

His other customers will vouch for his kits too!

BTW-I got the 4300K

 

I know what I should have done but I did it a different way!!! I started back in december wanting the xenon depot 6000k kit and it all went downhill from there!!!

 

here is a pic to get you calling Steve @ Xenon Depot



when imagestation comes up i'll post my pics

i don't mean to jack this thread, but i have a small dilemma of my own and probably has a simple answer.

i'm thinking about selling my integra and buying a lincoln ls. the integra has projector headlights (D2S) and the lincoln has reflector (D2R). both cars use 9006, and i already have a HID system with D2S bulbs.

question: what exactly would it look like with the D2S HIDs in the lincoln? would it terrible? is it really worth the 175 to buy a set of D2R bulbs?

sorry for the small hijack...

 

Beam pattern will suck and you'll blind oncoming traffic.

You know the LS's are coming w/ HID now.

But what has made you decide to go from a Honda to a Ford?

 

or just do a nissan 350 HID retrofit. Mine works beautifully. check it out in my sig
