This is a video my bud shot after we spent a 3.5 hrs (partly cause the box was missing the instructions. But they were easy once we figured it out) installing my new HID conversion kit on my 2004 MC. You can see his 2003 Toyota Matrix with 6000k HIDs for comparison.

The video is in high quality and 45MB so it may take some time to download.

As for now having these for a few days I can tell you this. They help me to see when driving much better. I have not had anyone flash me for there brightness. In fact I can drive in front of my friend without the light bothering me. Also some might say there would be some light scatter. Well I would say there is but it also helps to light the road better to me. Rather then two tubes of lights (like what projectors give) I have the entire road in front of me lit.

 

Nice set up......
How much??????????

 

Currently $299 on sale @ xenondepot.com.

They do charge $25 for shipping but its International Overnight via DHL.

 

btw about that glare fctor everyone talked about. the cooper is like a freakishy low car. i dont even see the lights on my matrix let alone all the SUV's and mini vans that run around our area. the lights are barely even noticeable due to the fact that the mini cooper is a low height car.

 

I saw different ones for sale. Do you know what's different about them? I saw 9004 6500k Xtreme HID Conversion Kit, 9005 6500k Xtreme HID Conversion Kit, 9006 6500k Xtreme HID Conversion Kit, etc.......



Thanks,

 

In order for the kit to fit in the stock housings of a MINI you have to get the H7 ones.You can pick whatever brightness you want (6000k-8000k or whatever).

 

Thanks,

 

Let me know if you decide to get them. I can give you some pointers on the install.
