Default HIDs IN!

Installed the Retro-Solutions 35W, 6000K HID kit Santa brought me. I must say, this is one high quality kit-pure plug n play. I took my time and I'd guess the install took 60-90 minutes. When I was done, I held my breath and turned the headlight switch and both high and low beams worked perfectly. Very nice cutoff too. Nice white/electric blue light. I took it out after dark and drove around, OMG-I can't believe how good these lights look, and I didn't get "flashed" once. If anybody is considering converting, I highly recommend this kit.

As I said, I got the 6000K, 35W, H13 BiXenon digital kit. I think it was like $150. They have lots of color choices and also a 55W kit.

I installed the 55W kit a couple weeks back, but had to take the bulbs out / pull fuse and put the stock lights back in. Until Todd @ Retro finds a glare shield, I have to use the stockers unless I want to get flashed and/or blind someone into the ditch.

Easy install though......the relay wiring is a bit of a mess to tie down neatly by the fuse box.
