[s-cars] Lighting poll - McCullough HIDs vs HIR bulbs

[chris chambers]

Dave,

thanks for the detailed input.
Does one kit replace both high and low beam lights?
Is this a plug and play or does it require mods? (ex: bulb out
lobotomy)
Is the install a simple remove old bulbs and install new ones?

Thanks
Chris
