Even if the stealer would set the parameter, it would probably be a lot cheaper at an indy.

THE C350
I will say it has been awhile since I visited family in Carry NC. That said I just took off as much time as I can get away with for a few months but could detour over there on my way to Atlanta.

The best of the best is MTEC, but you're paying a pretty penny for an authentic kit ($3-400). I say authentic because there are plenty of counterfeit out there. Morimoto we carry are best balance between engineering, quality, performance, and value. Not the cheapest, but fair for what you're getting.

If you use a 55w hid kit the car won't be able to tell the difference between halogen and HID and you won't need to code anything.
