Good, bad or indifferent, would like to hear some opinions. |
PLENTY of topic regarding that here, search for posts and have a good read to avoid nasty surprises.
In a nutshell (as light matters never gets boring to me)
1) with DRLs active and no extra grounding you are prone to wiper module failure and/or some other nasty issues. Make sure to sort it out BEFORE attempting to retro-HID your car.
2) if your car is pre-FL version with fresnel lenses you should NOT put HIDs "just like that" - you will dazzle others and create nasty and very scattered light pattern. Replace lenses/whole priojectors, and THEN put HIDs.
3) 55W HIDS - Im all agains it, but yes ppl use it (see above, cheers FM
). 35W is way enough output, thats the same power as OEM xenons and are bright/dazzly enough to NOT go higher power. but its entirely up to you...
4) have a read about xenon retrofitting in
my PDF guide, maybe will give you some tips, if you have some spare time to go trough all the info there
