I was wondering if you have seen Elises with the HID conversion and if it makes a big difference in light output. Do you know if the conversion is a simple plug and play job or is there more to it. I know you have to find a place to mount the ballasts.
I was told about that company, however I wanted to source a distributer in the U.S.. Also, the price from "Elise-shop" is really pricy. I found sites in the U.S. for a Philips HID for around $299-$499 depending on the bulb you choose-4500 or 6000 or 8000.
I e-mailed their sites and all they needed was the type of bulb.
Thanks again.
Cheers
