Just be aware if you retro fit HID's and you cause an accident, you will be liable.

Btw, they also have a warm up period, if you notice when you first turn them on they get brighter and brighter, i think it takes afew mins for them to fully warm up.
Zoran, looks like he's running 8000k because they are more of a distinctive blue than the 6000k which is a whiteish blue
Where did you get your set from and how much you paid for it? Any noticeable difference in light output?

If I manage to find myself a set of projector lights (I know they're out there somewhere) and fit HID's and then get them added to my engineers report to certifiy that they have the right lighting angle etc etc this won't be a problem.

A lot of effort to go for HID's
HID's are great but there not that great.
My last three cars have had them.
My new car doesn't and it's no big deal.
Osram Nightbreakers are brilliant for a fraction of the cost.

I'm leaning toward HID's coz I live in the country and I don't want the front of my car nailed by a roo, koala, wombat, cow, dog, fox, etc etc. So the more light I stick out the front of my car the more confident i am driving. It's also uncool to have a fox bust a hole in your radiator and have to walk about an hour back to town when it's been hitting 2 degrees here at night......brrrrrrrrr.....
However.
I'm gonna google these nightbreakers and see how good they are. They're not just another flaky answer like those blue Halogen bulbs are they?

You can get those Osram bulbs for around $30-40 delivered from UK (eBay) but I still would like to give HID a go..

I got mine from
www.ebay.com.au
$88 for 6000k h4 Kit.
Here's the seller, located in HongKong, I ordered on the Sunday, and got them on Thursday, they are pretty quick.

And, yes, don't go Bi-Xenon, because HIDS have a warm up period and they dislike getting flicked on and off, and that's how you can destroy them, so imo, i don't think there is much point going for high beams in HIDS, Just stick with the low beams

Thanx dude!

No problem guys.
Just remember V6Luxurys warning, if you do retrofit them and cause and accident you will be liable, and i'm pretty sure you cannot engineer them because the car isn't made to have HIDS. well the headlights anyway.
And yeah, i can post some pictures up
I have had my kit for about a month now, i've had no problems what so ever, and no they don't overheat, at all.
Installation was easy as, took me about 30-40mins ? I didn't have to cut or modify any of the electrical on the car, i just had to put bigger spade bits on the wires from the HID ballasts, so they would sit in the lightbulb plugs properly 
I can either get pictures this weekend, during the day/arvo/night. if you want to see the transition between the times in the day.
