Re: HIDs on your car?
Unless you use real HID reflectors, shields/shutters and lenses, changing standard removable bulb headlights into "HID" bulbs will do very little beyond putting a ton of unfocused light down the road that will blind drivers you are following and those coming towards you.
All of those eBay "kits" create a nightmare.
Buy some Hella, Cibie or other left hand drive replaceable bulb headlights. Go with uprated proper bulbs (65/100w), uprate the wiring gauge and install high and low relays to maximize the electrical current available.
Real HID lights are great but just changing a bulb to an HID bulb in a housing intended for a regular bulb is not the way to go.
