HID questions.

Hi,

What type of light bulbs do HID kits use? I am infering that the normal light bulbs on the GS ' would not work cause of the watts. How much do they cost? thx

If the light bulb blows out, I am guessing that I would need HID light bulbs. How much do those cost?
Thanks

around 150 or so a pair is actually on the low side. i've seen them go for 250 a pair. but if they do blow out replce them both. don't replce just one. your colors won't match.

Hella HID

I received my Hella 7000k HID kit today. I haven't put them on yet, but the kit looks nice. I decided to get the Hella kit because I had my friend's Phillips 4300k kit in my Type R and noticed some yellowness since the housing wasn't meant for HIDs. I'm sure i'm sacrificing some brightness with the more blue color, but it can't be too bad. I'll take some pics after the install.

Peace,

Lyle
