Default HID headlamp question

Has anyone installed the SpeedDirect HID headlamp kit?

Is this kit any good?

I didnt see an HID kit on their website... I assume you mean the nevernight kit?

Im not saying it is, but it looks like the H4 conversion housings that are on ebay for $30.
If you really want a lighting improvement while sticking to a sealed beam, look at the Cibie lights and do a search on the aircraft landing lights. Then you can either buy the speeddirect harness or make your own

You're right. It's not HID. I miss-read it.

Yeah, xenon. It's a very decent kit, clean harness, good connectors, includes everything needed, buckets do need to be trimmed, the light itself is like any modern car without HID. A very big improvement.
