$330 inc GST, for my Phillips.
Installed an eBay kit on my mates CU2 standard the other night, and its actually not all that bad. Just has a lower cut off, and a lower "wide" angle. Other than that, theres no real major difference IMO.

I'll post more pics up tonight.

Looks nice... whiter and brighter... might change the position lights to white LEDS too.

i chhanged my position lights to white as well, and it doesnt make much difference as in lighting distance. Pure cosmetic, and makes it look uniform.

Drove up Mt Cootha at night with the HIDs, made all the difference, and worked better than I thought in the fog.

Yeah thats why i wanna change mine for the same reason ... looks better the the standard yellowish colour,...

i got a Standard CU2, and i brought a set of HID. i have no idea how to reach the low beam H1. Do i have to take the whole Headlight out?

Wow, I'm surprised that its not listed on the manual...

is it like Civic, should install from the bumper instead of engine bay?
