Get yourself a set of H4 Hi/Low kit... I have Catz Hi/Low kit and it works perfectly.

Wait till you can affored a hid projector retrofit.
I k=just did nine and so did Mad-Max-SE. Check out his webpage. They would look great and the beam paterrn is fantastic. Check out Hidtech.com, Click on projects, Mine are the 99 housings.
There located in Flushing Queens.

Go with a retrofit. That you can insure that the beam pattern is aimed correctly. Other kits have HID, but they scatter the light all over the place and blind oncoming traffic and people in front of you.

I'm sure they can, they can work with any housing, and make it look like you want it. That would look hot!!!

yeah, i would highly recommend a projector type hid kit. Soul and I have learned a hell of alot from our experiences in the past month or so. I am actually planning on retrofitting a set of Cefiero's with the projectors i have now...just need the money, lol.

You can click the www under this post to see my pics...

the HID's you get are entirely based on what type of system you but in. For the Cefiero's, they use a H4 system IIRC, so all you really need is a H4 hi/lo system. But if you want the ultimate in lighting, then go with the projectors. However, with the reflector housing of the cefiero's with an H4 hid kit, i doubt you'll be able to get as sharp of a beam pattern as you can with projectors. With the projectors, they basically give you the ability to adjust the height of the beam infinitely over a longer length than the reflector type HID's. It's all a matter of personal preference, functionality, and how much you're willing to spend on you lights...

Side note - with projectors, angel eye's are much simpler, and they have all the light focused where you want it, not scattered around....
