BUT, the start up wattage is enough to melt your headlight switch so you must also buy the wire harness to directly power your HID's from the battery.

Thank you for the correction. It didn't sound right to me as I was typing it but nothing else made sense at the time.

I completely believe that the bi-xenon is worth the extra money.

Spike - This is why I always recommend the relay wiring harness that allows the power to come direct from the battery.

Early D2 headlights are UGLY (imo). Glad they perform better to make up for the looks.

I've noticed that the stock DI headlights have a decently sharp cutoff for being of the non-projector variety. Did the DII lights improve on this?

You really think so ??? mmmmmmmmmmm I think it "updates" the D1 nicely, the black surround looks much better.

Heres a friends D1 with D2 lights, a vast improvement imo.

I am a big fan of the D2 lights as well. Those with HID sound like a perfect combo.
