Halogen H7 replacement suggestions and questions

[yes_its_neil]

I fitted this HID kit to my low beams, and a H1 kit to replace my highs. I did not have factory xenons. All straight forward using existing and provided hardware. I have double stacked ballasts each side.

Interesting... How did it work out, Neil? Much better lighting?

Such conversions aren't legal here in NZ (HID in a halogen reflector) but if the wallabies that are taking over the South Island high country get much closer to the main cities, I think we'll see a lot of folk fitting these.

Not strictly legal here either, though difficult to get the regulations in black and white and some variation state to state. They are extremely bright, especially the high beam, but haven't seen much use. The flash to pass function is seldom (never) used, so any delay for lights to ignite is not an issue, and in reality it is practically instant anyway. Trying to ensure the kits are authentic Philips is always in play. If they are cheap and on eBay, they are sure to be fakes.
