[s-cars] HID wiring

[Mark Strangways]

I have 35 Watt HIDs in the upper (low beam) spot on the Chev pickup, 55 Watt in the high beam spot and a pair of 150 Parabolic driving lights on the bumper for those weekend drives thru deer counties.
I expect the next purchase will be the 2 million CP HID driving lights.
Though the 150 watters do a great job and they replace at 10.00 each online.

IMO over-blazing the low beams is a diminishing-to-negative-gains / flawed-logic concept, but like uber-stiff springs and +2/+3 tire sizes, i have found there's usually no arguing w the "more is always better" view of those who want them (no offense Dace - just IMO).

The OEM high beams are fine for me but if I lived in Montana or someplace I might go HID 35w or even 55w for those too... Where I live/drive now I seldom get a chance to use high beams anyway so it's not an issue... Adding aftermarket fog/driving beams under the bumper would more likely be my only lighting upgrade and even that prob not on the menu.

>> I suppose that I should add that I'm running the 55w kit, not the 35w, which might explain the extra drop in rpms? That doesn't seem like enough wattage to cause a drop in rpms however. That being said, the volts(checked using the radar detector voltmeter feature) drop ~.1-.2 volts when the low beams are on and ~.2-.4 volts with the high beams on. That seems good to me...
