I'm about to purchase a HID upgrade kit from coolbulbs (model G1K-9005) for my Explorer Sport being delivered in about 3 wks. Heard others got this one and it's good.
In Canada we all have daytime running lights. for HID models (the Limited) the DRL's are tied to the amber marker lights...non-HID models (Sport, XLT ect..) are tied directly to the headlights (at a reduced power I believe).
Does anyone know if there will be a problem upgrading to HID's for Canadian models with DRL... and any work-arounds. The only thing I'm aware of is that sure, the HID's will be on all the time and bulb longevity will be reduced.
I heard something though about the lights going on (full power) or off (reduced power) based on a light sensor or a shutter???
Can anyone who knows the details on this subject enlighten me before I buy HID kit. In other words if I buy this kit, install it...will everything be just fine!
Any Canadian upgrade to HID's care to give some feedback?
Thanks
