After installing the kit pictured below in the wife's Corvette this weekend, I'm seriously considering upgrading the lights in my H3 and my other vette. I installed a set of these ACA HID lights in the wife's C5 and it made a very significant difference in output. Anyway, here are a few shots of my install from last weekend.

What a difference! The H3 will look great with HID.

As a follow up, and just for reference to a typical install, here's a thread I posted on the full installation process.

Nice post. Lots of good pictures. I have a C6 that if I drove more I would probably switch to HID.

I'd like to see that conversion and what's involved to accomplish it.

I am seriously looking at a kit for my H3 now. I spend a lot of time driving in the dark early morning and late evening to work and would like better lighting.
