[QUOTE="Tnecniv Edipar, post: 2512, member: 418"] Really interesting thread this !! I've wanted to convert the high beam on my (cough) Mitsubishi Evo 6 since I installed a Cibie HID conversion kit. This is a 4 beam conversion with HID dip & Projector Halogen Mains , I paid £500 for a previously used kit !!! The retail price is £1600 !! The transformation of lighting performance on DIP is incredible , which is quite impressive considering this is a modern Japanese performance car with good lights as standard !! The disappointment when on main beam is a little difficult to live with though , it's so yellow & dim in comparison !! The price of HID kits has previously deterred me from converting the main beam units , but it seems this is no longer an issue !! I might even do the auxiliary driving lights at the same time !! However , I'm not sure I could tolerate the intrusion into my Rapides demeanor by converting it !! The light would look all wrong and that INVERTOR (not ballast !!) would be an impossible affliction to my aesthetic sensibility !! Plus , I haven't converted to 12 volt !! The improvement to lighting for the intensive Vincent rider would be difficult to ignore however , so I can see the appeal. Immensely useful info guy's. [/QUOTE]
