The BMW community is raving about this manufacturer of HID plug and play lights. Will these plug and play on the Element? Only $50. http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=101&parent=60
What manufacturer, and what lights?The BMW community is raving about this manufacturer of HID plug and play lights. Will these plug and play on the Element? Only $50.
Thank you.. ;-)What manufacturer, and what lights?
Not a fan of these supposed "plug 'n' play" kits. If all you're doing is buying some cheapie bulbs and ballasts and wiring them into your factory harness I can guarantee you that you'll be on the hitlist of everybody that comes towards you on the road. These things are crap and a danger to oncoming motorists.

A few on here have done it properly with projector retrofits.It's all true! I have yet to see a Hid kit installed on an Element that was worth the time and Effort to ME !

Are you refering to vehicles that have retros from another vehicle,or those Ebay retro's people were doing?:? Usually properly done H.I.D. retro fits perform just as good as the vehicle they had originally came from.The fact remains, I have Yet to see one in person, that was impressive. All the E's I have seen with them installed, were just OK. Not up to the standards of the factory setup's

If your gonna cheep out and just install a pnp kit then I agree.> It's all true! I have yet to see a Hid kit installed on an Element that was worth the time and Effort...

If I recall I think at one time there was a kit that actually was certified.:?You'll never see a street legal SAE/DOT certified aftermarket replacement for a vehicle primary lighting component that isn't identical to the original component type, because that's what the Federal regulations (and many states) require.
Oh I would definitely agree with that,it just seems that there's quite the growing demand from those who don't actually have trouble with their night time vision,but just want increased performance out of their vehicles lighting systems...that's allMy advice to anyone who has difficulty seeing when they drive at night is to have an eye examination by an ophthalmologist (not an optometrist). Poor night vision is a symptom of vitamin deficiencies, diabetes and possible macular degeneration, not inadequate OEM lighting.
