I dont think those will work because the main power is still coming from the oem harness.

Stick with either REAL HID or OEM bulbs if you want to light up the road.

if you want an upgraded harness, get the harness for the fog lights, they basically the same idea. You won't screw up your headlight harness cause if anythign happens, it'll fry the relay first.

HIDs cost too much, and OEM sucks. I got the Nokya Artic Whites. They work with oem standards. Ive got it covered!

Bunthy thanks for the tip, I may want to try that later on.

The arctic whites are great, they are almost identical to hids. But they dont light the road up as good as the oem.

Yeah I just put them in last thursday. They false advertised them on the net. They told me they were 60/55W which they are really 100/90W. I put them in anyway to see how hot the wires get. Ive been checking them since Ive put them in and to my surprise the wiring harness doesnt get very hot at all. I figure its like like a house light bulb. They fixture is rated for a 60w bulb, but people put in a 90w bulb and it works the just same. So if you dont trust the wattage do it at your own risk lol. Here are the pics.

ps. I found my camera isnt very good at taking night pics without the flash. I had to take like 20 shots to get them this good. And these suck.

They look good, but do you agree they arent that great for lighting up to road, but arent very bad.

Oh yeah, but they do work. The silverstars actually light up the roadbetter. But i almost wonder if its not the lights, but just the new headlight housing I have. The new black headlamps have a dead spot on each of them.
