Hi guys,

My HID kit is on the way, and since I appear to be the first guinea pig I'll provide a review of the kit. I'll make certain that I include install pics and before and after pics of the headlights pointed down my street.

To start off I don't know Dabears2k, but I did see his Group Buy on the Lotus forums because I occasionally lurk over there, and it seemed to go well with a lot of satisfied Lotus owners.

So why did I choose this kit? Simple, none of the other prime vendors have offered a slim, digital, 55w HID kit in this price range yet. I've purchased a lot of stuff from Eric (evof575gtc), and the JDM Super Digital HID kit he offers made me drool when I saw it on his car in person, but I couldn't justify the $460 price tag to myself. Honestly, if you have the money and want the highest quality Eric's digital kit might be the one for you. But if you want a cheaper alternative in the slim, digital, 55w category I think Dabears2k is offering us a winner that worked well for the Lotus club.

Why do I need or want a really bright kit? I owned an S2000 before I purchased the NSX, and I've never driven a car with such spectacular headlights. The factory NSX headlights are horrible in comparison and I want to really see the road again like I could in the S2000.

I've given this information upfront so you guys know my hopes for this kit are a bit high. If it meets, exceeds, or falls below my expectations I'll let you know. If I see a problem with the build of the kit or the wiring I'll also let you know, and I've been an Electronics Technician in the military for 10 years so I know crap electronics when I see it. (Everything in the military is from the lowest bidder...) Lastly, for the record I fully believe in supporting Prime vendors, but I also think if we want any choices in product offerings and we want to attract more quality vendors we need to give the new guys a chance once in a while.

Anyway, that's my opinion and where I'm coming from. You'll get the full update after I receive the kit.

Nate
