I thought I heard someone before say the kit was near $1,800. Id be happy just to have the lights to work. I dont need the washers and auto leveling. Id just manually level them for they weren't blinding on coming traffic.

That seems to make the stock go up on the 02-04 xenons. I got mine for 350 shipped (minus the $100 I got for selling my hals), and they work great. I do wish I had projectors though....I had them on my last car and they have an amazing cutoff which is very even.

Not to mention the 05+ xenons look pretty sweet

There could be hope! I just got a call from one pissed off buddy. MY friend Tim who I did the swap with just told me his Xenon light isnt working now. So my car destroyed it or his bulb was burned out in the first place. Lets hope its the second one. Im gunna head over right now to see what the issue is. If its the bulb Ill try his other Xenon if he lets me haha.

Not that great anymore haha. I think the bulb is just burnt out. He wont let me try the other one right now. He still thinks my car killed his light. I told him Id pay for it if its messed up.

He seriously wanted to punch me in the face. My 02 Halogen worked on his car though. Thats a good sign. I let him borrow it. Till he get his light looked at haha. I have silver Star bulbs in mine and they still arent close to the Xenon color.

After working on a retrofit on another car, I think I figured out a way to get the 05+ xenons to work in any car.

You need a new harness, which sells for $35-55, and hooks directly to your battery. The harness should have a fuse so your electrical system is safe. This SHOULD get any HID system to work on ANY car, despite the CPU....

Any luck selling your xenons yet?

Im am defenitely interested in these as well. Not only for an upgrade but also becasue my '03 mini has been plagued by the all too common headlight problem which seems to only get fixed when you buy an entire new headlight. So...I am looking to do that and upgrade them at the same time. The only thing is 700 bucks is soooo much money. What do these things run new for? anyone know?
