Reply With QuoteYup stop 02 headlamps. It's better with projectors but you don't NEED it. Projectors eliminate the issue with glare that reflectors have but I feel the glare is minimal. So far no issues, and I think HIDs run cooler than halogens.
You are using the stock head lamp units? I thought you needed projectors with the HIDs? Have you seen any over heating issues with the headlights?Originally Posted by hatch404

Cool! I have an 04 EP3 but HID performance should be the same...speaking of which, how much better did you find the HIDs to be over the halogens? A lot more, slightly more? I am asking because I have to decide if I get silverstars or HIDs, depending on how much better HIDs would be.
Well the only bulbs I had in there were the stock bulbs so the HIDs are definately a lot better. Here's a thread with some pics http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43398
Hey where did you buy the 3M tape? I am thinking that it would be a good idea to tape the ballasts instead of drilling holes.
Forgot to ask you if you still have the part number from the website, I went there and could not find the 6000K kit that specifies both high and low beam included. Also, did not see a kit for only $150
the $150 was a Group Buy special. it's now regular price.
HID for hi and low beam is the bi-xenon. but i dont think the bi-xenon is available for your 04, since it's a 9006 bulb. the 02-03 uses H4.
I see, well I emailed them to see if they have any suggestions. I really want to get the HID kit. I was looking at the 4300K because the brightness is higher.
02/03 uses h4 bulbs for hi and lo beams. 04/05 you would need to get 2 sets of hids for hi and lo beams.
