Converting Halogen to HID

[jri4]

The lights look good! Not too bad in terms of light output! Nice job!

Thanx. I'm pretty pleased with them.
What happens if a bulb burns out? Is this where the lifetime warranty comes in?
Cuz I don't think just the bulbs can be changed.

How is the light output of 55W kits compared to 35W kits?

my 3 has factory hids, and i never looked, but did the non hid 3s have projectors in them? nothing pisses me off more than kids in civics buying these kits, and then you end up with little light focused so it does the driver little good (worse than stock) and all the others on the road half blind...its horrible. i wish the cops would pass a law. if the conversion isnt done proper than ticket..there is a reason factory kits are so pricey..

Cops don't pass laws, they enforce them. There are already state and federal laws in place, but they are not enforced by the police nor do they seem to be picked up at the inspection station.

I know what you mean though, the 55 watt "off road" kits in purple are the worst. It's not a matter of "hating" it's a matter of blinding other motorists.

Guys know where I can get some retrofits for the Mazda Protege5 '03?

Quick question, I want to order the H7 35W, 5000 kit. Do I need to order the HID harness or adapter cables?

 

[mx-p5]

you should be fine with a 35 watt kit and don't need adapter cables
