I know a guy that has them.... They look good but might as well get a match, light it, roll down window and drive. That's about what it will be like

Just FYI your "German" kit is exactly the same most if of the other kits on eBay. One huge hid company holds probably 80% of the market on eBay. It's just a marketing tactic to say they're "German" hid kits.

If they are true projectors, light will not scatter and you will have a cut off line like this: And you need the kit pictured to retrofit to our housings to be true projectors.

You may be right but the "German" kit doesn't look like any of the other eBay kits...whole different ballast from others...and actually came with the relay harness so the headlights shut off as should...which from what I hear, others do not.

Want to know what real projectors for an XJ cost?

Don't use the ebay crap, believe it or not it really does blind oncoming drivers and in some areas of the country are actually illegal...

I don't think people want to buy headlights that probably cost more than their XJ.

Nothing wrong with NorCalMr2 HID Pegasus housings.

HAHAHAHAHAH you would have to be a COMPLETE IDIOT to pay that much for headlights...And i dont THINK my lights dont blind other people, i KNOW they dont...as i've stated before, i've been on the other side of my hid's and they are brighter than normal oncoming headlights, but in no way do they blind you....i have never been bright lighted and have passed many cops and never had a problem...not saying all cheap hid's wont blind people or get you pulled over, but from personal experiance mine do not.
