    Can't see (no pun intended) any reason for all the hassle of changing to HID lights.
    I have the same type 100w bulbs as you, ice white, but the just don`t come near the illumination of the Hid kit I fitted to my other car. They are definitely an improvement over standard bulbs though.
    I am on my 10th round of e-mails with a seller to establish if he has this new type of kit and will it work without warnings.
    Have also just ordered 2x 8 smd led canbus 501 bulbs for the sidelights. Hopefully that will mean no more yellow hues from the front lights of my car.

    Another wild goose chase, not what it seemed.
    I have had another thought. You can buy a bike kit for around $40. Has anyone got a bike with one of the single H4 kits fitted? If so could you try it out on one side of the P38. If it works with no error issues on one side a second kit would do the same on the other.

    Anyone who has fitted a kit and then got error messages are the errors for one or both sides.

    Seriously thought about a HID upgrade after a trip in a friend's Audi, but in the meantime opted for the improved halogen offering ( "+20s" or something like that.) Recently did a couple of long distance night runs...damned if I could use high beam more than 20% of the time due to constant oncoming traffic... mainly trucks. which meant that at times was driving outside the range of the low beam cutoff...

    I'll keep sitting on the fence and follow this thread!

    That's the way I was going to go until I just split the regular car kit into 2 & fitted a couple of diodes.

    I have bitten the bullet and ordered a kit.
    The guy I was dealing with has agreed to make up a specific kit which is basicly 2 bike kits in one. The Ballasts are the canbus 55w not the usual 35w and the light colour is 4300k, pure white. Bulbs are H4/3. Not got the final conversion price yet but will be just over A$73 inc DHL delivery. Fingers crossed they dont show any warnings.
