        Some H.I.D charts...thought it was cool

        Found this on a companies website...looks pretty cool. They have alot of info on their website about HID technology.

        Great link

        Triflow,

        Good link and very informative regarding HID. Have you done the foglights on your car?

        If your fogs are allready that close to the HIDs, I am not sure I would do the upgrade. It is about $600 for all the parts.
