Exterior & Detailing • Re: Replace Halogen Lamps with Xenon lamps

I do not, but I'm revisiting this for our flex.

We did aftermarket HIDs and they were 'just okay'.

What I would do is go with OE lamps (HID), osram bulbs, and then it's just getting a retrofit.

Wiring will be an adapter to "receive" the existing H13 bulb connector, 3DS is the HID size (great lights btw, but expensive).

You want a kit that does that adaptation. You will need to have a separate power from the battery or fuse panel (fuse within 12 inches of the source). Find an ORIGINAL ground point, crimp the ground and use spark plug connector grease (dialectic I think)?

The kit will have it's own ground wire but if you replace it with 14 gauge you'll be much better off (it's overkill, but in 12V situations, improper ground is the bogeyman)

Avoid Morimoto ballasts. They fail like crazy. Beyond that, no other suggestions.
