Up until now, NOT-MEE has been secretive about what modifications he makes to the kits. That's somewhat understandable, because if modifications are being made he wants to keep his competitive edge. However, maybe leaking a little bit of info about what is done would help to resolve this question.

I think this is going to be a very popular upgrade. Alot of cars come with HIDs so people get used to having the road displayed in front of them. I find myself sometimes checking to see if the headlights are on if I'm driving one with halogen lights. I ownly have one vehicle that doesn't have HIDs now.
