More clear? You mean whiter and brighter light? They are not too expensive, depends on which source you get it from, pretty much which 'brand' you want. They can be as much as $550 or as cheap as high $300s.<P>The bulbs that are made in Korea are much cheaper...and the non-German ballasts are cheaper, too. They will perform at similar result, it's just the matter of longevity of the kit.<P>Let me know if you are serious about getting them, I can point you to the right places.

Bi-xenon means xenon lights on both high and low beams. European models have had them as an option during this model year (Volvos too).<P>Yannis<P><P>

I've been through pretty much most of the popular HID-wannabe bulbs out there, they just don't come close to the real thing. Worth it or not...really depends on what you think is worth it. In terms of legality, it depends on your State law. <P>Check this post I made earlier...might help. <A HREF="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/000261.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/000261.html</A>

YES they are on BMW 3 series and perhaps 5 series. but for sure 3 series. they look awesome in my opinion. i just want some HID lights at a low cost.. didnt think it would cost me over 200 bucks WITHOUT installation either. <BR>

OUCH!! thats a pretty penny. and here i was thinking exhaust was a big thing i never thought lights would be so expensive. perhaps when i save some money up. btw.. for the Fogs, maybe i can cheap out and get some PIAA's, then only need to save up about 1400 for the High and Lows... <BR>
