Hid4me Baby!

So I'm scheduled for work @ 4, so I get ready at 3:00, and hit the door at 3:30. I'm thinking: "what if my inlays came in today, PatriotDecals has usually been pretty fast on shipping" so I stop by my mailbox, and I open the door and see a large white package. I pull it out and on the bottom is stamped XENTEC 6000K 9007 HID I shoot myself for not checking the mail early. So I rush to work and open my present and glamour at all the stuff I cant touch until later. So three hours later, on break, I install them in 30 mins flat! Here's the results after I return home:









The only bad part is that they aren't bi-xenon! They are really nice but going down my dark roads, they just don't have the....higher aimed beam that my orig. high beams had. Oh well, I still love them to death! I got the temp I wanted, lots of white with a *tint* of blue in it. Like Iceburg I would say.

Is it the ballasts or the bulbs that determine if its bi-xenon or not? I would like to buy seperate 9007 bi-xenon bulbs if its the bulbs

Nice. I should have my new bixenon kit here next week. I started kicking myself days later for not spending the extra money.

IF YOU DIDN'T GET A RELAY GET ONE. It's kinda good to have I found out.

Glamor (or glamour) is not, nor has it ever been, a verb. Just

You cannot run bixenon bulbs without the bixenon relay harness.

I would get a regular HID harness for those HIDs ASAP. They put way too much stress on your electrical system without the harness and your ballasts can get damaged.

So if I got bi-xenon bulbs that came with a bi-xenon relay harness, would that be releiveing stress on my system? They are the same price, if not more than the whole kit I just bought
