Pics after adding HID's
Hello Untouchabe08,
I have been reading the thread with the pictures of the HID's you have put into your standard (non Bi-Xeon) headlights and would like to do the same.
What is interesting is that you seem to indicate that there is a balast and controller which negates the need to have any settings changed in the car's computer.
Can you please let me know the Brand, model number and where you think they can be purchased from?
Thank you very much for your help and by the way your car and office look good.
Have a great day,
Joseph Rau.
