I can  tell you, from a number of authorities, the Sylvania HID sealed beam   
conversions are a TOTAL waste of time and money. They positively stink.  





I have heard this before and Sylvania discontinued them. But  at SEMA/AAW 
this year the folks at Sylvania told me they were working on a  new one with real 
optics. Could the one referenced at the web site be a new  model - or from 
somebody else? Also, although the old Sylvania kit  was expensive, it wasn't 
nearly $1100.  I need to add, I love the HID  lights in my Corvette. I realize 
that they are designed to work in this  application -  and the Sylvanias were 
not. But I have to say, I will never  buy another car with out them, if they are 
available.  As the Baby boomer  group ages, (I am in the leading edge - 58 
years old) night driving will almost  require better lighting. - I am on the 
lookout for the best (mostly  legal) lighting for any street Corvair I build. 
I've been to Stern's  site many times. If I was buying right now, I'd go with the 
E-code lights. -  Seth Emerson
