Xenon bulb install

[hatteraspimp]

How hard is it to install xenon bulbs to the headlights?

If you're talking about the 9007 direct replacements, then not hard at all. The HID conversion kit, not too hard either, just wiring in some stuff.

one word of advice, get someone with small hands to help you with the passanger side light... i couldnt unscrew the damn grey thingy for 10 mins, and my gf did it in 5 seconds.. just a word of advice

from what i've seen with people i know that have put on xenon bulbs they got too hot and draw too many wattage and melt the wiring harnesses eventually.

I'm wondering about that too. I was thinking about getting those for my Grand Prix, the lights are really dim.

Sounds like you can either get the bulb or a kit... anyone know a good place to buy them?

As long as you use a bulb that matches the stock wattage, you shouldn't have any melting or any problems like that. A lot of these bulbs today run stock wattage but make light output of a much higher bulb. If you want to go with a higher wattage, I would suggest upgrading the wiring harness so that you won't have any issues with the melting or burning out.

Great info Rob, is there a place on line or something that you like to get your bulbs from?

The cheapest place I found online is www.truckperformance.com . They have the PIAA bulbs for $63 and the Eurolites that I have for around $20 or so. I like their service a lot too and right now they are offering free shipping.

Nice. Thanks!

either that or go to autozone and get the sylvania silverstar bulbs for like 20 i think. they're supposed to quite bright and won't melt your wiring.
