Default Bi Xenon upgrade

I'm looking to uprgrade to the bi xenon headlights and want to know if there truely is a differance compared to the older headlights. Some people tell me there isn't but I just have a hard time believing that.

Are you kidding me. THe cutoff is so crisp with the Bi-xenon. No light scatter. More usable light. With the highs on, its like day light. I upgraded for the amazing looks and was blown away by performance.

Also the Bi Xenons can be painted fully unlike the old ones.

If you have the dough go for it. The improvement in looks alone is worth the price imo.

True that, I am waiting for a set painted PPW by CinCity. God I can not wait.

It's a difference, just not a $1,200+ difference

A 50W HID kit... that's really it other than new OEM xenon bulbs. Xenon bulbs do age and get dimmer over time, a new set will make a pretty big difference on 3+ year old bulbs depending on how much they were used.

I personally went the cheap but difficult route of tearing open my 04 headlamps and ripping the half-assed performing projectors out and installing some bixenon projectors from a BMW M3. Pretty damn big difference for me, glad I did it!
