Default e-codes
I'm getting halogen e-codes for Christmas! How much extra time and money does it take to replace the halogens with xenons?

Default e-codes already ordered
I was told before that buying a xenon kit with the halogen e-codes would be less expensive than xenon e-codes, so that's what's on the way. Thanks anyway, though.

Default well you'll still have to buy xenon bulbs/balasts.
and then spend a bunch of time dremeling and retrofitting the xenon bulbs.

Default just curious...
What's the difference between the DIY you have and the e-codes?

Default well these are US spec lights...
so the amber part is removed by drilling. that is probably the most noticable difference at first glance. the lense on e-codes is a lot more transparent, so more light gets through and the beam pattern is tighter. e-codes also have city lights which US lights do not.
