Here's a unique question for the day...

So I just bought the SA Grill Kit. Yes the lights are better than the
stock system. I do have an upgraded 100watt light kit already installed.

Now I was in my local ECS Auto Store today and saw they had HID H4
conversion kits available for $200.  They tell me in the store they
have sold a bunch and people have been happy with them.

I was thinking of the an HID 6,000K kit system. The brand the ECS
store was selling was called KenSun.

Now I am wondering what your thoughts are on installing one of these
kits into the Van with Hella 7" round light replacements lights that
Van-Cafe sells. Will the pattern look ok?

Anyone every try this?

I just came across an article by Hella which states that these kits
are illegal to use in the USA plus it show an example of what a kit
light looks like in comparisson to a normal HID factory light.
