Aren’t those reflectors or are they projectors? HID are dangerous to oncoming drivers and don’t work well in reflectors.
Then the only way is to open them up and retrofit projectors in them. I did it to my 08 Silvy, first true retrofit. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.
you will want to 2 of these relays (or any waterproof ones), one for each headlight, the trick to getting HID's to work good is proper wiring, run power directly from the battery to each ballast, then run a ground to the frame for each ballast then use the low beam headlight positive as the trigger. this way there is no stress or draw on the factory harness and the ballast get full power and no you don't need any error correction or anti-flicker stuff, just use good wire and fuse each power lead near the battery. if you have a junk yard around you then you can probably find decent relays for cheap in the yard like hella or bosch but I would check to be sure there waterproof or sealed, I just say this because they are subject to getting wet when it rains unless you place them inside the engine compartment I put mine on the front behind the headlights
the HID bulbs work with both 35w or 55w any color, the extra 20w with the 55w ballast is what makes a noticeable light output difference
The power of the ballasts has nothing to do with the color output of the bulbs. 8 k bulbs in 35 watt ballasts are the same color if they’re used with 55 watt ballasts.
naw, once you have set the HID's up it's a piece of cake, all that really matters is make sure the polarity is right and use good wiring and relays. I can change all of it out in almost the same amount of time as changing a bulb. I haven't cut any of the factory wiring it's all plug-n-play after the initial wiring install, no extra switches or tricks, headlights work just like normal only there better.
the only difference would be brighter light output due to more wattage, just like if you connect a standard headlight bulb to 9v then connect it to 12v it's just going to be brighter
nice, when I saw the price was back to reasonable I ordered a set to keep as spares in case mine ever decide to take a dump, but even after a accident to the front bumper it didn't faze these at all, the trick to installing these is use a hook, grab the old lights with the hook from the front lip edge and just pull and maybe push from the back at the same time, they will just pop out, the replacements will pop in same way just line up the holes and push them in real firm
