Perfectly clear bulb glass vs. bulb glass with a coating on it...

Want me to use just one projector, or both?

Mine isn't a PnP kit... It's a proper retrofit for HID usage

I went 5000k for my cheapo PnP kit for my halogen projectors that came with my ebay lights... Man is that ugly compared to OEM

Don't worry, I'm doing one at a time, so you'll be able to see how much better it is to get it done right

I bought a wire harness on ebay and they give you full instructions on how to wire it in to the factory so the seitch work and the battery. It also has it's own fuse in the line too. it was only 5 bucks and 20 bucks for shipping. You think thats a rip or what lol. 20 bucks to ship a harness, put it in an envelope and call it a day, jeez!

The harness is a whole lot safer, though...

The factory wiring is NOT the best thing for the initial start up charge... Which can spike at more than 20 amps per ballast.
Usually much higher... But there isn't really much in the way of affordable ammeters or multimeters that can catch them above that 20.
