Quote, originally posted by engine1 Â» Every exterior light except for the front turns. What system though? Did you upgrade to HID? Or are you just running their bulbs?

Just the bulbs! I cant afford the true HID system, although these are the nastiest headlights ever; 135w highbeam....people get out of the way after one flash, those who don't wish they had lol!!

So you upgraded the wiring then?How difficult was that to do?I'd love to put even 100w bulbs in, but last time I tried that, before I understood anythign on this car, I smelled burning...

with that much leverage on the shifter and full hand grip, i'm amazed you're not punching a hole into your dash when shifting into 3rd!

No wiring changes at all. These only draw max 60 watts of power, no more than a conventional bulb, Piaa (and most others) uses different gases to acheive the desired brilliance. These will do no harm to your harness what so ever. I have used very cheap World Light bulbs in my wifes car and burnt out one h/l socket, but you will never have a problem with Piaa products. Even the horns required no relay or major wiring hassle, i just used two power taps, jacked into the OE power to the horn, made up a couple of wires to go from the stock wire to the two horns and Piaa supplied the premade grond harness, pretty slick.
