Hello everyone,

I'm requesting once again your help in regards to HID installations. I recently bought a Xentec 35W 6000K HID kit. My brother has this same kit on his E30 M3 and absolutely loves it. I was inspecting the headlamp housing today and decided to pull the original H7 halogen bulb and noticed it is a 55W bulb. Do you guys think I am going to have a problem with the 35W HID kit? I'm worried that I might need a relay wiring harness. For those who have HID's, could you guys post your setup/ problems and what you did to solve them? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ricardo Cheing

 

no problem at all. you'll need to drill a 1.25" hole on the back of the cap for the low beam.

 

35w is less than 55w so no probs..

 

35W is normal, Only problem I had was finding a spot to install the damn ballasts - I'm waiting till my set goes out before I buy a DDM kit with slim ballasts and install them under the headlights

 

What a relief! I hope my install is as smooth as yours.

Akielb...I wish I would have known about the DDM products before...I bought my Xentecs for $60.00 shipped but I would have rather bought the DDM's. Now I'm going to have to wait until a ballast goes out, but even then, I have a 1 year warranty on them.

 

well you can still get a DDM kit and just hook it up to the fogs

 

Really? Any special adapters? Won't 4 ballasts in my car pull to much power or trip any warning lights?

 

Again, they use less power, not more. The ballasts are for stepping up the voltages and starting the lights.

 

nope, trust me i'm drawing quite a bit of power with what i'm running, your alternator is rated for 160 amps so it'll keep the juice flowing pretty well.

 

Quick question. I'm thinking about buying a set for my car. Do you guys only hook these up on low beams? or do some of you do High beam, Low beam, and fog? Do you have to buy a separate kit for all of them?
