you guys do know there is a sealed beam chassis that takes h4 bulbs... its so older cars can take the new bulbs check your local auto store

starions are NOT sealed beams, they're semi sealed.
and at $58US for a kit i'm pretty sure they dont include the inverter/flux capacitor thingo that costs big bucks..

apparently all you have to buy extra is a 12v relay for the ballasts

I cant tell from the pics but you need to get the h4 with both hi/low beams. There usually two ways they do that, either the xenon low beam with a halogen hi beam or a a single xenon bulb that does both.

Hey man, I've got a set of similar HID's in my car and I found that without the correct lens/projector they're next to useless to the point that I pulled them out again.
Have you tested a set in starion headlights (I don't have a starion to test my HID's in unfortunately) But basically they glare everywhere and the beam hotspots on the road and have next to no alignment possibility after you adjust them down so you don't blind other drivers. I could take a photo tonight of what I mean?

interesting, have put several hid kits on other cars with no issues. i have a set of projector lenses coming, what i might do is get a hid kit and try them in the projector lenses. once i get it hooked up i'll let you know. but you have to realise that hid over standard h4 is a brighter cleaner light and will always throw a bigger light. in saying that the 300c chryslers have hid lights using projector lenses giving it a more direct beam. i'll get mine hooked up and let everyone know.

Why would you put up a group buy that is so vague? I bought that up just in case it was missed, given that you gave so little information about your group buy.

why is it vague rice theif what do you want to know, if i say i can get hid kits that suit or cars wouldnt it be safe to say they are a kit ie: includes everything and also is h4 to suit. do i have to hold everybody's hand and spell it out. is every single member on here a that stupid that this has to be done. i think not. why would i get interest, and i emphasis interest on a group by of hid kits that were not for starions. some members here make the mind boggle.

A lot of these aftermarket HID kits are not street legal.
