Before you pick up a set of Silverstars check out this site. I had Silverstars before and they burned out in less than a year. I'm using the HIR9012 bulbs right now and I think they put out way better light and they are supposed to last as long as a regular halogen.

aren't silverstarts just H1? I have them and there okay. The H1 HID kit looks okay but with the hardware you get I assume you have to modify the stock lights to get it all to fit properly. I can imaging installing the new bulb to the stock conntectors to be a bit of a hassle.

It really should be a plug an play operation. The H1 HID bulbs should fit into Euro headlights that use H1 bulbs with no modification. As for the wiring, the input to the ballast is simply a stock 9006 plug. You may need to wire in a relay to eliminate a low beam OBC warning.

I have nothing to gain from the sale, just thought I'd pass along a recommendation. I am running a similar kit on my Depo headlights and it is actually quite simple to install.
