... looks really good, where to get the ballast? ...

Thanks mate! Answered the last thread before I checked the index.

Do you find the light shines further or that it shines the same distance, just brighter?

Not tham I am aware of, if anything it works on the same principal as a fluorescent globe ( from what i can remember) and I think it actually produces less heat than a normal halogen,

all the existing wiring stays where it is, the new wires plug into the old ones to get power for the " Ballast ", so in other words, the cable that runs to your standard globe is now used to power the ballast

(Ballast is the square box that you can see, it is an amplifier to run the HID's)

In the 2nd pic, those 2 free dangling cables, plug into that clip that you can see dangling next to it

RAHAHAHAHHA!!!! thats gold..  hope you didnt drop your guts!

the ballast after an hour of driving was a bit above room temp basically, didnt over heat much at all.. most of the heating could have been done by the engine heat..

Doesnt draw more current, as the ballast is an amplifier that strengthens the standard current, much like a stereo amp..

EBAY - $170.00, I picked them up last night, the guy was local.

Brandname is Kingswood HID conversion Kit

Shipping was an extra $10 bucks, but he lived about 2 mins away, so i saved the 10 bucks..

really impressed with them..

Oh another thing, once you install HID's I lowered my globe direction a little, so they dont shine directly in oncoming drivers eye's.:angel:
