All,
In the most recent issue of CF there is a company with an HID kit for the C5 as well as the c4. Has anyone purchased and installed this kit? Has is the quality of the parts and of the lighting?

First set lasted about 1.5 years; per Osram/Sylvania email, don't expect more in second set. Not much night or rain driving either. For $20 to $35 per set of two, that's not a good deal if you ask me.
I like the color and output, but not the lifespan or dollars. Won't be buying them again.

Maybe I'm lucky, I've read that they don't last from a lot of people here.

I'm going to go look into it some more. My Silverstars are golden to Sylvania----TOO golden.
Thanks for the tip, Jody.
I've had Cibie and the brightest H4 bulb I could get back then in out 87' from day one never have had a problem since then. Only have to remeber to dim your lights sooner.
