I’ve done a lot of research for hids and am certain that these have to be the highest quality retrofit kits there are on the market. I decided to go to the only place that carries these in Canada- Visualdynamics.ca rather than go through the hastle of buying them from a place in the US(ie: duty and taxes are a bitch). The Catz kit uses Matsushitsa ballasts and GE bulbs (both of which are DOT approved and used in OEM Japanese automotive HID xenon applications) I was very impressed with the overall package of the kit. It came with everything…OE style weather resistant connectors, precisely manufactured rebased bulbs, in-line fuses etc… And for those of you who have the xenon depot kit and have had problems with the spring clip, which I previously had and ruined my stock clip by bending it to secure the bulb, visualdynamics came up with a very easy, effective solution to this issue. Even easier and more effective than cutting out a sheet metal security template.
I want to thank Trevor at visualdynamics for hooking me up and helping me with the installation. Great, friendly guy and awesome service!
On to the pics:

Pic of the custom moisture boot that comes with the kit. This totally seals up the back of the headlamp dust cover preventing any moisture from entering the headlamp (my prior xenon depot kit did not come with this).

I will try and take some pics of the beam pattern and light output when the weather gets better.
