What he said. If you're really putting that kit in a non-luxury CL9 without changing projectors I hope you get pulled over and fined by the cops.
hi mate, just wondering what do you mean changing projector? that mean i can't use the existing projector if i change them to HID? please give me some ideas as im not expert on this.
when i put back the headlight and bumper, i still can start my car and reverse... but i have found out the 55w hid ballast very hot when i just on it less than a minute, is that normal??
55w hid kit?
youre asking to melt wires with a HID highbeam kit

Read this. HID bulbs in standard halogen projectors without auto-levellers will dazzle/blind cars driving towards you. Pretty rare that people get caught from what I've heard but it's a shitty thing to do for other people on the road.
And if you're in an accident at night your insurance could potentially refuse to pay out

thanks for telling mate... i know what should i do now...

Sorry for being rude I had no idea you didn't know before. Most reasonable thing to do would be give up on HIDs and get some better halogen bulbs instead.
sorry for fuelling the off topic discussion here guys, but i think the HID discussion is beaten to death anyway so there's not much point to it..

The production of heat is related to current flowing through the wire, so if there's 55W/85V, you'll be running 0.64A as opposed to 60W/12V= 5A.. Think of water in a pipe, what has friction? water under high pressure or water moving quickly through it under lower pressure?

I'm not sure, it might have something to do with the UV output of the bulbs?
No manufacturer uses 55W HID's in stock vehicles anyway so the all 55W setup's would be illegal. Off-topic again but I've read a few posts of people using 55W HID's for foglights on a few forums....I just wonder why?

i suppose when it's hard to see people think more light would do the trick..
