If your interested, try this guy as well. John Sharp is the owner. I've talked with him several times on a couple of other vehicles I've owned.

HID Xenon conversion lighting kits

Lifetime Warrenty as well...!

so the problem was when we turned on the headlights the rings would flicker and then shut off completely !

thats a tough one, try to call the vendor as ask any lighting guy you know that builds or installs kits- regardless- good luck with that!

what do you think?

thank you

I was at this euro tuner shop that I always goto for my parts today looking to change the colour of my angel eyes from yellow to white and tried various options.

-mtech globes (no where near bright enough to even light up the second ring)

- LED marker kid same design as your link there ( lights up the inner right perfectly, but the outer ring is significantly darker..ended up getting these but wanted to see how they looked in true darkness..)

-HID kit (definitely the better option in my mind but I didnt want to have to hang a ballast somewhere else as I wanted a fully enclosed solution where I could put the rubber seals on the back of the headlight)

Neil,

You can talk to member brabus on e60 who does HID's and i heard they look sick-i know Kerry got them and C says he is very good- i am just going to go with GP thunders as they are cheap and look decent- cant beat $20 bucks.

Best of luck
Yusuf

I have installed XENTEC HID on my other vehicle (RAM 3500) and it works great. It's as bright as daylight. The problem with installing this on the E70 CORONA lights is that you have to remove the rubber seal completely to accomodate the wiring for the ballast.
