I have the cash and want to put HID's in my 98 CL 3.0, but I have heard rumors that non factory HIDs can melt the existing bulbs....I also want to add custom black light housing, is there a way to get both black housing and HIDs? Any links or info would be extremely helpful!

 

If you search you can find how to black out housings. You use HID bulbs with HIDs so I dont know what you mean about melting existing bulbs. There are a lot of threads if you search for HIDs too.

Thanks for the nice welcome, I don't want bulbs, I want the real deal- willing to drop paper on it!

 

Alright- I also need establish what I know....actually, can someone give me a crash course in terminology and everything I need to know about HIDs and thier installation?

 

talk to VXCL he might have some HIDs instock, he did a great bi-xenon setup(both high and low beams). you can send him a private message to his user name VXCL.

 

heres a link to everything you could possibly want to know about xenon systems and retros.
