Are you really fast enough that a pound is going to make a difference???

nope, but that pound still doesnt sit well with me

if you were fast enough to worry about that pound, you could quite possibly be fast enough to "outrun" your stock headlite, therefore justifying that extra pound......think about it.....

I have a 6000K kit as my high beam and a 3500K super yellow kit as my low beam. I have been running them for about three years without issue.

Most kits have a bladed relay that you plug into the bulb socket in the stock harness.

Here is what they look like head on:

I hate those HID's blinding me. I would never dream of doing that to someone else.
