people who have the hid headlights
did you use the stock wiring? i was thinking that ifthey pull more powerthan a stock halogen i might wire up a relay so the hid's get power right from the battery and not through the stock wiring.

My HIDs came with a relay. Relay connected directly to the battery and used the stock wiring to turn the relay on.

Get the 6000K! They make the 4300K look brown. And yes, some people do wire in a relay, but it's usually not needed.
Here is the place where I tried out a set which came out to be less than $100 shipped to my door. Surprisingly they turned out great and look unbelievable. Straight up plug and play. Order a 6000K kit for a your stock bulb type. There is a link on the site to verify your bulb type. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-...1QQcmdZViewItem
