Lol you guys are funny.

I did an HID (high intensity discharge) conversion these were basically your high end headlights ,Germans [Mercs, bimmers, audis]) of the mid 90s into the mid to late 2000s when most of your manufactures were using them at least on higher end modles. By this time the Germans with the Japanese not far behind were already switching to LEDS (light emitting diodes), and now with the Germans going to lasers (light amplification simulation emissions of radar) blah blah blah if you have the coin LEDS are the way to go - simple install low draw long lasting and bright if the correct Kelvin temperature (color) is selected.

That being said if you don't have a bunch of coin HIDs are the way to go again nice and bright if correct Kelvin is selected fairly easy install and reliable. The down fall is the inclusion of additional ballast (small a few inch by few inch box) and in an application for a Chrysler type vehicle, as well as some others, a set of capacitors to keep a solid power flow so no Flickering occurs (I belive this has to do with the ?can bus? electronic type control System some manufactures use ), and they need a relatively high power draw for initial fire after which they will run in a low draw . Also HIDs tend to like a very specific reflector type for optimal use(normally a very tight reflector type) as the light spreads quickly but they work perfectly fine in in the factory housing

I got my set at a local shop caled 1320 performance, its a ricer shop, for about 60$ dropped in and fired but flickered at which time I figured out I needed capacitors - I ordered them online from some random hid website for I think like 68 pennys a pice. For the price this upgrade should be almost mandatory for the less than ideal output of the factory headlights and though I rambled a bunch and may have made it sound difficult to install its all just drop in plug and play, uses a connector that connects directly to the factory headlight connector and runs on the factory switch. the only new connection that must be made is ballast to battery or relay if you chose to add. A compete plug and play kit (as well as ones from the Internet) you just order up dependent on factory Bulb style h1,h3,h11 ect ) in all I think I spent $75 as I added a pre wired relay just for fun.

Any questions just ask

Thank you John for all the info. It was very informative and helpful. I know it took some time to write all that out. I think it's funny how you were very specific with ur punctuation and capitalization in the first paragraph and as u progressed it basically became all lowercase, run on sentences! Lol. You, however, made ur point.

In honor of derailing threads, what's wrong with your jeep Brad? Or are you getting upgrades?

This should go under a new title: "Hey John, Brad's Jeep Talk"
