Re: HID Lamps (Phynix)
browse the lighting forum.
The most expensive option is the OEM HID
Then people will recommend http://www.autolamps-online.com
DRL, probably need to disable them

OEM HID's are very expensive. You can get aftermarket HID's for about $600 from http://www.hids4less.com or get European E-codes for about $350.

Moved to the Lighting forum.
The best HID upgrade for the Jetta would be the OEM Bosch HID upgrade. Costs around $1300 US but the improvement is totally day and night.
Retrofit kits are generally not recommended as factory halogen reflectors weren't designed for HIDs.

That would make your car legal twice over....
Even though you won't ever want to use your high beams you will never pass inspection again (at least not in PA or Jersey)...

Not only are the halogen reflectors not designed for HID's but don't you lose your high beams on the jetta lights when converting to HID?The best HID upgrade for the Jetta would be the OEM Bosch HID upgrade. Costs around $1300 US but the improvement is totally day and night.

As I know this is one of the few if not THE ONLY place where you will get professional support both BEFORE and AFTER you buy form them!
All I can say is don't take MY word for it, find out for yourself!

Re: HID Lamps (Cullen)
I do take your word (and everybody elses) for it in regards to autolamps-online.com .
I have heard many good things and nothing negative.
Actually, I emailed them regarding the FET solid state harness well over a week ago but no answer back. No big deal. If I were to order ballasts or bulbs and had a couple days to get them shipped I would go with them hands down!
But I've completed my HID mission and don't plan on changing anything I've done with my lamps for a long time. Everything from now on is just maintenance...
Thanks Cullen,
