Introducing the new Catz Zeta00 lighting system. It uses HID like ballasts to regulate your battery voltage at 15.78 volts resulting in 170% more light output! You can use these with any stock wattage bulbs to boost the perfomance of your headlights. Note, however that this is not a harness upgrade, so overwattage bulbs are out of the question. The kit sells for $219 for 9004, and $249 for H4's. Go to http://www.fet-usa.com/shownews.asp for more information.

When Catz sent me mine I had to custom fit it to the light socket. I'm currently running that with some PIAA Platnum bulbs to hold me until I get the Catz Galaxy White bulbs for my Skyline lights. If you guys want more info email me. I can post pictures if you'd like to see what the system looks like, the transformers are really nice machined aluminum, they look sweet. Only one thing to add to your quote, they make the lights brighter but do not really give an HID look to the bulbs so don't expect that, but it is worth it. My high beams cover the road like a football field lit up at night

Conversely, if you run lower voltage, they last longer. (This is why it's smart to buy 130v light bulbs in your house -- they last up to 4 times longer on 115v circuits)

If you will upgrade then to higher wattage bulbs.... this combo should only cost about $75.

I'll see if I can get some pics as soon as I can borrow my uncle's camera. Shing, I have taken that into consideration. The voltage is not that high compared to the stock 14.4v or 12v, the main thing that it does is regulate the voltage so that It doesn't drop. That gives you the same light all the time, even when the car is off. The good thing is that you can mate it with stock bulbs, at $4.00 a piece and get the same light output as a much more expensive bulb.

Does anyone know if this can help the piaa plasma's. My plasma's just dont put out enough light. The money spent on the catz equipment could go towards philips hid. Someone let me know if it works, and how much of an improvement is actually noticed.
