HIDs?

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

HIDs?

Post by hirschhs »

Here in Hungary, the roads are generally poorly lit, especially in the countryside.
The old Pug's lights are not really up to it so I was thinking of upgrading to HIDs. I did this once on a big touring motorbike but never tried on a car... Has anyone done this and if so, any advice?
thanks in advance

Thanks, midsmike, that would be handy. Presumably, they don't need to be any special make or model?

Doesn't that make them the tiniest bit blue midsmike?
I have 5000K and they're brilliant white.
