I've done some searching and basically come to the realization that the ebay stuff is crap. What is the best housing to get? I've seen a lot about Hella. I also read a little about Cibie, and I kind of like the driving light feature. I haven't read too much about the Bosch conversion that pdm-racing has.

Anyone have any input about which may be the best housing? I do plan on replacing the bulbs as well with maybe some Sylvania Silverstars or perhaps PIAA Xtreme Whites, but please give your H4 bulb input as well...

Thanks!

Hella ECE 200mm and Hella H4 +50 bulbs, I got them from Mike at www.clearcorners.com, he is now selling the Cibie ones as well.

My friend has the Bosch H4 housings, and you can't see shit.

Of course I chalk that up to his ricer bulbs... he plans to put in decent bulbs soon, I'll let you know if anything changes.

Yeah on his website he only has the Cibie ones now. I wasn't sure if I should make the assumption that he thinks they are better because I remember when he had the Hella conversions on the site a while back...

Well Mike sold me the Hella ones, and IM'd me a few weeks back when he had just got the Cibie ones... Given my known and assessed observation for Mike's attention to details, the only fundamental difference is that the Cibies have the city lights built in and the Hellas do not.

... personally, I don't care about such details, so the Hellas will continue.
