Hello Jack,
HIDs are easy to install: plug and go.
The steps are as follows.
(1) Connent the harnesses together in the kit,
(2) run the red power wire from the wiring harness to the positive side of the battery, and
(3) run the black wire to the chassis for ground.

The light from the HIDs increases visibility in rain, snow, and foggy conditions.
I notice light snow and fog first in oncoming traffic lights before I notice it from my lights (less reflection back).

Leonard

Leonard - you're being very non-condemning in your reply, aren't you?

My opinion, without naming names or slinging arrows at anyone, is that some people really should not try to do some of these modifications! You DO have to understand a few things about electrical circuits, don't you?

I've never investigated these things at all, so I was only reporting on problems I had read about in the other forum. You've pretty much confirmed something I've suspected for a long time - if you can follow directions and use common sense, you'll be OK.

When I have some time and more money, I may investigate them more fully!

Thanks for the clear, straightforward post!

- Jack

So Leonard,

It's just that easy?

What kind or kit did you get and install?

What was the output?

Were they the single or the high low ones?

Analog or digital style balasts?

Sorry for the questions just trying to narrow my decisions.

Lars
