stringtheoryI 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.
Monroe50I 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.
