He does have aftermarket projector headlights and he is going to be getting some better bulbs not necessarily high wattage. PIAA make H3 bulbs in 55w but perform as they were 85w. And as for getting xenon bulbs don't get high wattage bulbs if u do get a wiring harness. Xenon bulbs are also made in stock wattage.

The 80/100 watt bulbs are notorious for frying connectors. I have never had that problem however. Xenon is fine, you just have to get decent ones. I recently lost a low beam also, and the new set is not cutting it. Very small light pattern, and bluish light output. I never see PIAA bulbs anywhere, so I usually go with the Eurolite Fusion bulbs.,,,98

I wanted to see the color of the light out of those bulbs again so i out them in the projector and just put it to a spare battery I had. Light is awesome white/blue/purple. In the projector it acts just like HID with the colorful cutoff. I need to get myself a pair of those projectors. 200 bucks for headlights and then around 150 for bulbs. UGH
Thanks for the info..have you ever ordered from there? If so, are they reliable?
