Bi-Xenon kits

For those of you out there that have changed your Xenon low-beam/Halogen High-beams to all Xenons (Lows and highs), what kit did you go with and how do you like it? After driving a car with Bi-Xenons, I now have to have them in my '03 MCS. Links and/or pics would be great. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the info. Did you use the single output to replace the high beam bulb or did you replace the low beam for the bi-xenons, leave the halogen high beam alone, therefore having a halogen and xenon high beam?

Mounting would take some creativity, but probably can be done. Shocked on the cost of these. I was expecting a few hundred $, like the kit I had in my mustang was. Under $100 is a steal.

Sorry, after I re-read your post, it sounds like you made the conversion on other cars, not Minis, right?

Is there a way to vary the height of the Xenons (hacking the auto adjust feature)? I recall my friends STi had xenons that could be height adjusted while driving. something like that would be cool.

I have been debating the same thing, on the MINI and on my daily driver, but the issues comes down to where to mount the ballast to, as there is already an external ballast on the OEM xenons. I am sure it can easily be done, just have not put that much thought into it.

Are you kidding me? $42 for an HID kit? Bulbs, ballasts and harness? Even if it lasts 6 months, thats CHEAP..... Thats about the cost of a set of Silverstars, which only last about that much time.
