Headlight to hid?

[///Bimmerfan]

I have sealed beams in my e30 and I want to know what is the cheapest way to get hid running on it. Do I just buy a set of ellips or do I just replace the sealed beams with the Hella h4's or whatever?

ellips are the way to go ...

Are you completely convinced you want HID's? A nice set of H4/H1's will make a remarkable difference and that's probably the cheapest option and its plug and play. I just went to Euro ellips for the possibility of going HID in the future, however, they put out such amazing light with a good set of bulbs I think I'll stick with that setup. I guess you could find a budget set of us ellips and risk crappy reflectors the get a set of fleabay ballasts pretty cheap. All in all H4/H1's would probably be your best bet for budget vs. max output.

H4/H1 with good bulbs has more output than ellips

[Asbradley21]

H4's have better output than 20 year old ellipsoids unless you get new reflectors and HID's

Good set of euro elips Plus a set of is the best way to go.

So I can just put the h4/h1's in my stock sealed beam mounts? and wheres a good place to buy the kit?

I've got a set if you're serious. Yellow lamin-X on them that you can leave or peal off.

Shoot me a PM or something.

Cheapest and most effective route for HID is US ellipsoids.

i'd say get the H4 for the highs and snag the yellow highs off an old mercedes from a junkyard. THAT'S the cheapest way to go.

after comparing my HIDs to kronus' H1/H4 setup, I wouldnt have it any other way. Then again it looks like the PO of my car may have bought brand new ellipsoids, because they're damn near perfect.
