I have had issues with the ballasts. Not sure if the Raxiom headlight lenses will take the heat from HID (see if there's a warning about that). I installed LED bulbs instead; they run cooler, use way less power, and offer (IMHO) superior lighting of the road both in width and distance.

I do know Raxiom says that installing HIDs voids the warranty because they were not designed for HID bulbs. But I guess I am confused how a 35w HID bulb can generate more temperature than a 65w halogen bulb. The 35w bulb produces more light with less energy, which I would assume means even less heat since total energy in this case is being divided between heat and light. I guess I am unsure why HIDs get such a bad name for heat. But then again, my understanding of physics isn't the best.
