new h.i.d. kit installedd... future problems?

[rama1200]

I just got installed a new h.i.d. kit... it looks nice and the install was simple (the hardest part was to find a good place for the ballasts)... but I noticed that the headlight case gets too hot; at least I don't remember getting it that hot with halogens... also, there is a little buzzzz homing noice when they are on...

the vendor sent a cable that looks to have a 20amp fuse and a relay... but the instructions said that that is only needed for 9007 (lo/hi on the same bulb) - I use 9006 lo only-... it this cable/fuse/relay the key to prevent overheating? or is this normal with these kits? or does the case gets hot and I just never paid attention to it?

(I'll wait till it's dark to take some pics and post them..)

Was thinking about purchasing a hid but I wasn't sure as to how they look
did you get 8000k or what? how long have you had them? what is visibility as compared to stok?

I have HID low's and fogs... 6500k

They're -awesome- !

I got the 6000k for my lows... they are blue... i think they kinda look like lincoln aviatiors' lights... visibility is a bit better than stock, and they are way brighter... I have silverstars for my highs and they get lost next to my lows...
I'm overall pleased.

I took some pics last night, but they don't reflect how the light really look... I'll post them anyway in a while

Mine get warm as well. And the buzzing is normal. Going on a year with them with no problems.

well autozone is full of **** cuz a 9003 has a completely different socket to connect it to the bulb... its a 9006 low and 9005 high TRUSt me.. and the fogs arent 9006.. theyre 9145... they have the same shape but work a little differently

 

[playtilithrtz]

so what is the diff between 9145 and 9006 for the fogs. which hids should i get for the bottom the 9006 or 9145?
