Reason being that you need to be able to FLASH your brights, HID's take a couple of seconds to turn on and come fully bright, so this wouldn't work.</div>
Alot of kits temporarily raise voltage to "pop" the HIDs on. Like a jump-start. They get really bright for the first 1/8 of a seccond then they go slightly dimmer then operating and back up. It all happens within like 1/4 seccond. Personally, I perfer that type. But that would still not be good for brights as it would repeatedly pop the HIDs and potentially burn them out.

Regarding Meccatune:
"Meccatune is bankrupt and won't be able to do for warranty so that is the reason we took them off (well there are some left but we will be taking them off soon) Zenon HID, as a matter of fact, has better quality bulbs and they are a lot more popular in Korea. Most importanly, we could offer them at $190 which is $20 cheaper than Meccatune HID kit.
Thanks

On SFR site they are now selling the Zenon kit to replace the meccatune's.
If you receive the Zenon kit there is one minor thing, the bulbs are not shaped like regular bulbs and you will have to modify your clips a bit to make then clip in. They do not have a dish shape all the way around for the clip to set into that stock bulbs have. They also seem a bit fatter so you have to work your clip on them I suppose if you push really hard but i had to take mine out and bend them a bit.

if you look at the back of the bulb its flat all the way across.
