HID question???
I am planning on getting HIDS for my EK and I have a couple of questions. I was wondering if they are easy to install/hook up? This is from a website that has install instructions: Connect the pins that go from the ballast wire to the socket where your original bulb pins were connected. If positive and negative markings are shown in the socket then our black attaches to the negative and our red attaches to the positive. If there are no markings on the factory socket, try them one way first. If the lights do not function, then reverse the wires. Reversing the polarity will not damage the lights; they simply will not function.
What is he talking about when he says "Connect the pins that go from the ballast wire to the socket where your original bulb pins were connected"?
What is the single wire at the top for? Where does it connect?
He also says this: After installing both headlights, be sure to check and properly aim your headlights; HID lamps may not aim in the same manner as your factory bulbs, and may cause unwanted glare if not readjusted.
How do you adjust EK headlights?
I was wondering what the number means? This is what the guy from the site says: Apparently brightness decreases as color temperature increases. Lower "K" color temperatures appear brighter. Does that mean that 6,000K is brighter than 10,000K?
I was also wondering if $439 is high for 6,000K Hi/low beam HID's? Here is where I was planning on getting them from: http://hidupgrade.com/ I was wondering if anyone has purchased from them? If so was your experiences good/bad? Is the site reliable?
