    Ellipsoid / HID Retrofits

    Does anyone know where I can get some US Ellipsoids and/or does anyone here do HID Retrofits?

    Don't waste your time with HIDs. Unless you have glaucoma, Euro ellipsoids with high output 55W bulbs are plenty. Go for Bosch because they have more durable metal reflectors (hella are plastic).
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    Know where I can get those 55W bulbs. I have the euro ellisoids and went straight to the HID upgrade and always regretted it.
