Maxima10to1 did a write up on the first few pages of the Forums about how to convert with virtually no cost. Try it out...looks to be a good mod.

Oh my god why do you people not listen. Those off the shelf kits are GARBAGE. McCullough's are some of the worst HIDs you can buy.
The problem with HID kits is everyone is too damn lazy to do some research. EVERYONE INTERESTED IN HID KITS GO TO WWW.HIDFORUM.COM and look the stuff up for yourselves.
takentomax it's people like you who are forcing the government to investigate banning ALL HIDs (even OEM ones) because most people can't differentiate between your crap reflector style HIDs and true ones.

If you want HID's do projectors. Here you can see the low/high beam patterns and what they look like from different heights when you look into them. I bet a lot of people appreciate it when I’m coming head on.

There was someone selling the Bi-xenon kit, who was it again? I'm going to convert my kit as well. The Hanabi's are not that great, I alsways had a problem with my ballast and now they are both dead. I didn't even have for a year yet. I'm going straight with the projectors. Anyone know where to get them from?

Alright, I did my install friday-today. I will NOT be doing a writeup. I got about 1/4 of the way through the install and realized that it just isn't possible to write directions. It's a custom job that will be different every single time some you install it. I WILL however answer ANY questions you may have.
What is the real kick in the ***** about what I did was when they were all installed, I was adjusting the drivers side vertical alignment and the STUPID TAB ON THE HEADLIGHT BROKE OFF. So now I have a low aimed headlight until next weekend when I JB Weld the tab back on so I can aim this stupid thing.

Formz....I recall you and I having a conversation about doing a write-up...LOL...see what I mean. As someone that has done the E55 retrofit...I can honestly say that there is no one way to do the install. I can ALSO answer any questions that any may have with respect to this, as I recently finished this about 2 weeks ago.

see, i said the same thing every time someone asked for directions. The way i see this mod is; if you need step by step directions, don’t bother doing it. But if you have questions ask away. Also do some research there is a lot of info out there.
formz, take some pictures i want to see.

ok questions asking away....
ive checked out HIDforum and done a bunch of reading...
from what i understand e55 are some of the more popular setups. bi-xenon is the way to go and this setup has it.
only question i have now is where do i find these wonderful beasts? Junkyards best place? or should i be looking for someone in the classifieds
well thats the only question i have at the moment... as soon as i can pick one of these up, im gonna do the swap myself. Fabrication is my middle name.

ebay is your friend. Also check the for sale section on hidforum.com, hidtech.com also sells parts, but its more $$$$
