headlight bulb replacement

THis is why I thought that HID used MORE power.  It is common that if you tried to put and HID bulb into a stock outlet on a car, the wiring would get fried, and the plug turns to a pile of something else.

not really because you don't use the stock wiring.  The only thing the stock wiring does is plug into a ballast which is made specifically to convert the voltage to the appropriate ones for stock to HID use..  I have been using HID's on my truck that was not designed with HID's in mind for almost a year now with not one single problem.

No such thing as an "HID bulb".  Totally different setup that requires the special housing.  Think of it as a really high powered fluorescent bulb with ignitors on each end.

Many companies market these fake 'HID' bulbs, but in reality they're just blue bulbs.
