Hello everyone!
I'm in the process of getting the parts to do this retro conversion as well and I just need some clarification. I lucked out on a set of RX330 projectors on eBay for $50usd.
I wanted to do the same thing MiniStiGuy did with the Philips D2S bulbs and stuff, but the kits I've found are really expensive. I wanted to go the kit route because I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what parts to get (ballast, bulbs, wiring harness, etc). Xenon Expert is having a sale on stuff I saw in the Vendors Classifieds on this forum and their D2S kit is $350 They also have something called the Extreme HID kit for $250 (with a Philips 4300k bulb upgrade for free), which is within my budget. Will I regret settling for something that is not D2S? Do I get the H7 bulb? I think I know what I need, but very certain I am uncertain Also a question about high beams. Someone posted a picture of the beam of light being altered for low and high by shifting the lens, is this how the Legacy headlights work? So I don't have to worry about highbeam bulbs or those bi-xenon bulbs?
Question about DRL's. People disable their DRL's because they do not want to keep the HID's on all the time, correct? So, as an alternative halo rings like on BMW's or the LED strip lighting on the Audi R8 would be a good idea? I've seen a few mods with the LED strip lighting on these forums, they look pretty good. I also like the halo rings too and I've seen Alberto has a set available but they are like $300 a set lol. This is something I should do when I upgrade to HID's right? Disable DRLs and get alternate DRLs like the LED lights or the halo rings?
I've seen some of the pictures posted here with the ballast mounted directly on the headlight housing, which I'm hoping to accomplish myself.
Thanks for reading.
