I split this off from your other thread. Thought is would make a good topic

Yes I have high beams. Well kind of. When I turn the hiB on only three of the lights go on.

Thanks for the correction Sam.

When you used these Xeon lamps...did your electric system notice a big drain? Do you need to up the size of the alternator?

Xenons or HID's donot draw more they actually draw less power and last 30% longer than regular bulbs... So you will not need a new battery/altenator...

hids draw only 35 w...regular bulbs draw 55w...its only when you turn them on the blast makes 25000volts to ignite the gas...after that....its all cool...

well to add hids to your camaro or bird, you have to get a set of conversion lenses that convert your selaed beam into h4 bulb housings, then you have to get a h4 bulb hid kit and wire it up....

well on most newer cars its plug an play...for us...since you first have to do an h4 conversion and then add hids, all you have to do is splice 2 wires...ground and power into the plug that used to go in the back of the sealed beam..pretty simple...u can check out my audi ones on sunday...
