I have a few questions for ya...

- I noticed the balast (sp?) ziptied behind the light in pic 3, how much is involved in the total setup?

- if I didn't want to have the balast in the engine bay and decided on the halogen, what improvement have you seen with the halogen version as far as beam pattern and brightness?

- I believe with the current HID setups some local CEG'ers have around here, the current draw is enough that the engine has to be running for them to be on, would any rewiring be necessary to avoid that, or is that a general characteristic of HID's? (I don't know too much about the technicalities of it, so please forgive me if thats a dumb question )

They look awesome Milan, they've just been added to my future purchase list!


Jesse, I as well have my ballast zip tied to the same spot that is the best place to have them minus inside the front bumper. The only difference with this upgrade is that the beam of the HID light will be perfect due to the projector housing you will have perfect cut off. No more of the staggerd pattern like you see on our current set-ups. There have been a few great F.A.Qs written on HID by Myself, Quicksilver and MondeoV6 even though there were a few flames there was also alot of info. I would have to say this mod right here has to go down as the best mod in my book for the contour.
