HID D2S Adapters possilby available\Group Buy

[Russo]

Just stumbled across a post on another Mark VIII forum about the D2S adapters possilby being produced for our cars. The pricing isn't too bad, especially if there will be more than 10 buyers. $190 for a pair of them is less than you would pay for just one HID bulb from Ford, and who knows if they're even going to be stocking them.

What do you guys think?

I'd be in.

I think the price is ridiculous.

I think the price is ridiculous.

I thought so too, at first. But considering the price of just one bulb is about $220+ now, it doesn't seem that bad, IMHO.

 

[Frogman]

Does the price include new DS2 bulbs?

I believe it's just the adapters, the actual bulbs and the ballasts have to be purchased separately. They are much cheaper than our 9500 bulbs though.

WTF????

are we not talking about a simple flat peice of metal that the bub locks into?

am i missing something here,maybe i dont understand the "adapter" but it looks like a plate to hold the new bulb in.

$190 for that?????

please explain.

Yep.

I agree. Almost 2 Bills for 2 pieces of fabricated/CNC cut metal or plastic? Umm. I'll pass.

Mike, I am few steps ahead of this. Couple test pieces were already made, more to come. And no, they won't be $200.

Anyone every make a set of these? I came across a set of 96 HID assemblies in a salvage yard and one has a blown bulb and I decided not to get the ballasts. My thought was convert them to the newer technology. I have come accross a couple of old thread on the different Mark 8 websites, and I was curious if anyone has come out this the adapters yet.

 

[kustomizingkid]

somebody does make them, he sells them on ebay.

Unless I am mistaken (again), this whole post is passe' now that there are $88 HID kits available on the auction site.

This thread was about DS2 into OEM HID housings, the $88 kits are only for halogen. If you have factory HID housings there are options however.
