October 7, 201113 yr The first thing you need is a proper housing designed for HIDs. Only then will they be worth a shit and not be another annoying, blinding mess on the road.

October 7, 201113 yr I'm not going to recommend anything. The car and it's lights were not designed for HIDs, therefore, you shouldn't be installing HIDs.

October 7, 201113 yr Some better lamps, upgrading the wiring harness and relays. You should be able to google or go to the corral and find info. I'm not saying you can't go the HID route, I'm just stating the only way to get true HID lighting and do it correctly without blinding other drivers is to have everything engineered to work together. Unfortunately, only the OEMs do this. The aftermarket kits have no engineering behind them, they just throw together enough stuff to make them work.
October 7, 201113 yr Author okay i will do some research and see if i can do this myself, i wasnt aware of this as stated i am a complete noob at improving my lighting, as for being my second "fun" car she is really digging in my pockets deep thanks for the new shed of "light" that you showed me lmfao had too
October 8, 201113 yr i seen on a chevy fourm where they had made a cut off line.. from what i rememeber they used a cup,. and a scion projecter beam, and some hard work.. but the end result was a nice clean cut line .. as not to distract drivers. but it also looks cool... i blind other drivers. my shit is every where... but i never drive my car... i have a company truck and a few cars.
October 8, 201113 yr most cars and trucks can get away with just the kit. the relay is suggested so that you draw direct power from the battery rather than through the stock which isn't always able to keep up with the demand of the HID. error code eliminator is usually for foreign cars or the very expensive american cars. Tire is right though, HIDs in a stock housing non projector does throw the light everywhere and can be annoying as hell to others. But, it does help spread more light on the road. I have them in my Blazer's oem housing and they do pretty well at helping me see at night. In all honesty though, you only need the 35 watt kit. if you do go with the 55 watt, get the relay for safety reasons.I worked at a shop where all we did was window tinting, HIDs and vinyl work.
