HID for H4 lamps?

Anyone heard when HID technology will be available for our H4 bulb assemblies? I read that Phillips and Sylvania were working towards this.

Re: HID for H4 lamps? (GRX)

Just did the conversion in mine a few weeks ago.. Its awsome. http://www.prostreetlighting.com That is where i got mine. They are a good company. One thing that i would do is upgrade the fog lamps to. once you get the headlights in the fog lights look yellow. The head lights have a blue tint with them off to. :)

Corvette0096,
Which bulbs did you put in the fog lights? Were they of the "Plasma Blue" variety, or just the 50w halogen upgrade? Thanks

I'm not refering to the "look-alike" halogen "xenon" stuff. I mean REAL HID conversion kits that are about to be available as a retrofit. HID bulbs, ballasts, etc. Some websites: http://www.sylvania.com/ and http://secure15.dellhost.com/~d30022975/hid_philips.htm :flag

Look in some import mags. There are kits for Hondas. A 2000 Honda Civic uses a H4 bulb stock.
