HID Kit removing problems?

Is there any problem if i remove the HID kit that the previous owner installed? Any codes will appear on the dashboard?

The car dont have the BIX headlights..its just a Chinese HID kit installed in the OEM headlights!

IMO the OEM yellow light gives better illumination!

What should i use for the OEM headlights? (H4, H7?)

white and whiter
No.

And the lights probably suck because you have 6000k+ bulbs. Change them to 4300k-5000k if you it to work properly.

And stock bulb is H7

Hey any advice in Halogen lights?

One friend recommended me the PIAA H7 Lights.

Kinda pricey imo....

yes, pricey. sorry, but you're not going to get 110-watts of lighting out of 55-watts.
wattage is the measure of power consumption, not brightness. lumens is the proper
measure. PIAA is blowing smoke up people's skirts. the bulb is tinted blue to make
the yellow appear whiter but that only fools the eyeball into believing it's brighter.
poor advertising spin with the laws of physics. fail.

I would recommend trying to find a set of coupe factory Bi-Xenon lights. The light output is worth every penny. Plus it makes the car look that much more up-scale.
