Lighting Experts: a few questions
So I have a 2003 X, with stock halogens. I'm really wanting to upgrade to Xenons + AE, probably with a Depo setup.
I'm looking at ebay, and am of course disappointed. Maybe I'm completely dense, but why are all the kits I've found supplied with H7 or H1 bulbs, yet marked as HID/Xenon? Sure, they include a ballast, but true xenons use Philips D2S/D2R, right? H7 and H1 are still a tungsten filament, and therefore halogen, yes? Somebody point me to where I can find a true xenon HID system, with projectors, ballasts, igniters, bulbs, etc., with halogen angel eyes. The truth is I've been wanting this upgrade off and on for the past year but am scared to put out a few hundred bucks on something that will give me worse illumination than the halogens, will make me look like a poseur, or throw up warnings. Anybody who has had experience with this, which I'm sure is most of you, please post or PM me with your setup (I'm specifically targeting those that went from stock halogen to a xenon setup).
