hello friends,i just buyed to my explorer `03 the hid system and believe me you dont have any kind of problems,my explorer looks awsome like lincoln aviator it`s the same color sky blue,you find this product on ebay this guys hkimports very good seller and the price very good about $200.00 with all complete kit. what are you waiting for?The CEO said:My '06 Limited has everything except my favorite option... HID XENON HEADLAMPS! I have seen replacement kits for cars hat come with halogens and I am curious as o the problems that might crop up if I replaced the halogen bulbs with a xenon kit. Does anyone know or have done this??
bojans said:So anyone want to share an impression of how the HID kits are working and what brand you got? I did find a hi/lo option...

The CEO said:Crizz, since you live in Germany could you look around and see if Hella or Bosch or any of the other big name lighting companies produce a h13 bi-xenon kit? Thanks!

like I wrote before : use a additional resistor, switch it parallel to the HID-ballast.
To figure out how many ohms you need : at first use a DMM and check the how many amperes are taken by the ballast. A normal halogen bulb with 55 / 60 watts will take r.a. 4 - 4.5 amps. This is the current you need as total. For example : If your HID-ballast´s current is 2 amperes, you need a 6 ohms resistor switched from the "+"-bulb-wire to ground to get a total current of 4 amps.., 5.5 ohms for 4.5 amps. and so on ( R = U : I for U set a voltage of 13.4 V , 12 V you only w/o engine running , I is the additional current needed to be terminated by R esistor ).
