Love it. I had just the ballast on there and it was like I was highbeaming everyone when driving at night. Now, there is a really clean cut off. I really appreciate Gboy's info. This looks stock too. I am very happy with it. I should have taken a photo without the fogs on so you could see just the HIDs. I think Gboy did that in an earlier post for you all.

That's great,glad to hear that. Eventually I'd like to copy this cool mod.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but when upgrading to HIDs I take it we use the bixenon's. Or do our highbeams not come from the same lamps as our low beams? Additionally, is a projector required? Because I have had several people tell me that I do not need a projector, and that I can get the HIDs as a plug and play option. On the revers side, I've had people tell me I HAVE to have projectors because I will blind people otherwise. There is about 100 difference between the kits, so advice would be appreciated

Well if you want functioning hi beams, then yes get the Bi Xenon's. The only application you would not need projectors would be if you were using a reflector lens that had been specifically designed for HID use. You don't have to use projectors, but to do HIDs correctly, projectors are the only way to go. You could do a plug and play, but I'm sure as you've probably read elsewhere, it's frowned upon by many. I feel if you're going to do HIDs do them correctly with a proper projector retrofit.

If you're willing to spend a few more bucks than those posted in this thread, I'd highly recommend checking out the Retrofit Source. They have great prices on quality HID retrofit kits.

I just recently purchased their Bi-Xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III kit D2.

I did a forum search before posting about these and didn't see anything,I did not realize there were projector headlights avaliable for Elements? I just saw a set on Flea Bay from seller dreamconceptz and they actually do not look too bad.Not too sure on what kind of quality you get but they are also pretty pricey at $459.00 .Sorry can't post a pic since I'm at work but search under 'element led headlight'.
I plan on clearing my headlights one day but didn't want to get involved in doing a projector set up but if the price ever came down to something reasonable I would give these a try to see how they are.
Anyone ever see these before ?

Sure they look pretty good, but those are halogen projectors, so if you have plans to use them with H.I.D.s they probably won't perform all that great. For one to get the best performance out of H.I.D.s a projector that was originally designed for H.I.D.s should be used.

Anyway since you didn't originally post in this thread, you don't seem to be interested in H.I.D.s, just clearing your lenses, so in that case they'd probably work fine with the halogen bulbs that they come with.

As for posting a link, it's really not necessary, since you've posted more than enough info. for someone to be able to find those headlights on E-bay. Thanks for sharing your find.8)

Then maybe your light isn't to your liking because the standard projector for the lows was not designed to reflect HID bulbs. If I understand the issue correctly, the light from an HID bulb is not at the same point as the regular light bulb would be, so it's not reflected correctly.

That could be part of the problem, I know some people on here have gotten decent results after installing plug and play HID kits in their SC Elements, but if someone is wanting the best performance out of their HID setup, they're really going to need to do a full retrofit using HID specific projectors.
