This is not in fact Speed Inc's HID kit, but here's just to help out and show just HOW MUCH brighter HID's are. Hopefully OP doesn't mind.





There's a lot more glare in this pic than the lights really produce. Thank you point and shoot camera!



As you can see, HID's are a HUGE improvement over stock. It is well worth the money.

Does anybody know how to get a beam cutoff? The best I've found are retrofitting or gamble on ebay projectors.

are they too bright?
i.e are you getting flashed by on coming cars because they think you have your brights on?

The kit comes complete with the bulbs, ballasts and wiring harness. Unfortunately we cannot sell any part individually

There is a 90 day limited warranty on them that does not cover installer error. We have had these kits on cars coming up on two years now and we have had no issues

I thought the stock TA headlights were a sealed beam housing so you can't replace just the bulb?
