are you going to show us a step by step?

LEXISM 10-18-05 02:52 PM

ok so what does this do? .. make it brighter? will this fry your wires?

GS300Rich 10-19-05 04:21 AM

In those pics I dont really see a huge difference. Is the difference more noticeable in person? If this isnt too complicated and the brightness that it brings is significant then this is definately something to be done. Let us know what to do

Difference is like night and day. 35w HID is bright in your rearview when you actually catch the beam. 75W is like looking at the sun

Anyone done this to their ballast? I dont want to screw up the new ballast I get, just want to see if anyone else had success in their attempts.

i tried searching hidplanet for ballast mod and couldnt find anything.....has anyone done this b4?how to? and what are the differences??

JeffTsai 12-15-05 10:08 AM

Yea man, post a guide! :D

My bi-xenons need more light :p

Well, I got most of the stuff about the mod....explained on Soaristo's site. However he was not very clear about what resistor to 'destroy?' and where to solder the new pots on.
