Hi guys,
I'm a new Element SC owner. I'm coming for years of driving BMWs and I've gotten used to the xenon headlights. I love my new E, but I'm no kid and I really miss the better night vision from the superior lighting on my M3s. It appears there are two options to upgrade the headlights on the E.
1. Simple HID bulbs with a ballast, or
2. Projector conversion.
I do NOT want to do an HID bulb that blinds oncoming traffic. I hate that and don't want to create an unsafe driving condition for others, while trying to improve my own night vision. So, here are my questions:
Thanks for your help.

- Does anyone have a link with full pics to the actual installation of the HID conversion kits you see on eBay for $150-$220?
- Does it require baking and pulling apart the headlight housings to install the projectors?
- Has anyone that has done this mod experienced any electrical problems?
Thanks for your help.
