how much do these run? and where can you usually get them? i had a problem with some hyper white bulbs before, they kept burning out the socket that they plug into...toyota tried to charge me $1200 for a wiring harness!

so to get this confusion i have corrected...i will end up with a total of "4" main HID ballast(s)...one for each of the lights? how will the wires connect for all the 4 ballasts and will it have uneven or equal power transmitting through all of the ballasts?

HID isn't made for flashing (which what highbeams is usually for)... you'll kill your HIDs like that.. plus HIDs take a few seconds to 'warm up' before they are full power... which defeats the purpose of flashing... you can have HID foglights though... i hv 2 ballasts.. wiring harness 1 end to battery... 1 end to each ballast 1 ground... also hv 2-3 fuse and relay... i thnk This post has been edited by elvasoshexai: Jul 30, 2006 - 1:53 AM -------------------- |

I have a question for everyone who are using HID + JDM projectors cuz im interested in getting both. As projectors as been made for RHD celicas, if you dont open and modify them for an LHD use, does they dazzles a lot other drivers on the left side of the road?
thx ! |
