I have looked at the projector style units, but don't like them. Not so much the cost, but I don't like the looks of them. It would have been nice if GM / Hummer would have done a factory HID setup. For this kind of money they should have.

I know people have said that it's "not true HID if it's not in a projector" but there are factory HID headlights out there that are not projectors. I just saw a couple on the way to work this morning.

One was in a Lincoln SUV and I don't recall the other one. Also, I think some of the previous Cadillac Escalades had a non-project headlight and used HID's in them.

Anyhow, I'd be interested to see how you did the install, and how the LED DRL's work out.

Thanks.

Yea I know the aftermarket HID with projectors give you that bug eyed look.

The kit I bought off ebay for $150 are true HID , both sides have ballasts, and they are for both HI and LOW beams heres the link

Here are pictures:




Also I would like to add that because it doesnt have a projector doesnt mean its not HID, all the projector does is concentrate light in a certain area. Without the projectors you actually see more parts of the road and on the sides, for offroading this is way better. The lights are so bright that concentrating them straight ahead makes that area brighter than it needs to be, without the projector the small amount thats not dead on like a projector would be just lights up other parts of the road such as fog lights would or areas to the right and left. Also to adjust the headlights is simple, just use the factory headlight adjustment to move em up or down, can't really do that with projectors. For $1,000 less its surely the better pick. But I would like to add my 2004 Escalade limo with Factory HID from GM does not have projectors! See picture:



So this is the same setup that I have added to my h2.

Also here is a picture of my lambo and my porsche. The porsche I added aftermarket HID lights to also, different bulb types , but the same brand and bought from the same ebay seller.



You don't really notice a difference with projector like my lambo has and without like my h2 and porsche have.

Also here is a video that shows the lights, the color is amazing, it shows the high and low beams. Why would you buy a system for $1000 more, its a waste of money IMO.
