FWIW I have the $1000 HIDs on my 99 and I just installed the HIDs from djmotorsports ( forum vendor) picked them up for $259 shipped on the girlfriends 02...
to be honest the $1000 have the advantage as far as they have the clear lens and projector housing where the ones I just bought use the stock housing so the light is projected differently.
in a side by side comparison the difference is NOT worth the $700...
don't get me wrong I love my HIDs but if I had to do it again I would save the $700 and buy some clear lenses...
that being said...anyone know where I can get clear lenses for her 02??
Changing to HID has anyone had problems with the headlights not going down unless put on brights first? I know it is due to the HID being 35 watt and the computer looks for a 55 watt voltage drop to know when to close the doors.
If so what did you do about it?
I heard of adding 55watt 5 ohm resistor and got some but they get very hot and I don't want to use them. Any other ideas?

Listen, there is no problem if you buy djmotorsport HID's. Everything works as normal. But if your a skimper go ahead and take your chance on fleabay and I'm sure we will here from you asking for a fix later; just like most of those buyers before. BTW, djmotorsport gives a satisfaction garrantee which means that if you don't like the kit you can send back after a few days and get a total refund.
