XenoFlo HID retrofit kit from Bimmian? Anyone used it?

I just recently purchased a new 125i at a great deal! Only problem was because the car was on the showroom floor I couldn't spec it with Xenon's.

Current extra's
M Sport
Alpine White
Dakota Leather
Sunroof
PDC (rear)
Sports Auto

Has anyone used the XenoFlo HID retrofit kit from Bimmian? http://www.bimmian.com/HIR/20/?cur=DKK

All they do is convert the bulb to a HID type, making it whiter.

They don't provide the projector lenses or halo-effect DRLs.

Also without the proper auto levelling system or headlamp washers, these are not road legal (at least in the EU)

Just worth considering..

I have done this on cars in the past, if you want an OEM Xenon look I recommend 4300K. 6000K is a bit bluer than OEM.
