[s-cars] HID wiring

[JC]

>From my expereience w/ the low-beams and the fact that the C4 highs are
decent to begin with (caveat below), I imagine that a 35W HID in the high
beam would be decent but 55W HID in the high beam would be unreal, but still
not threaten the reflector heat-wise.

Mike - I don't think Jared put E-code Euro lenses on your car, did he?  this
is a MUST before or at least same time as further HID upgrades. super easy
procedure for a guy like you who is mechanical.  you'll find the OEM highs
to be MUCH better once that gets squared away... it is true that the DOT C4
lights, like the DOT 200 lights, suffered massively in comparison to the
Euro versions... My old 200 sported full Euro 100 light assemblies (yep had
to change the grill and lose the 200 square-light look but well worth it...)
boy were the DOT 200 lights terrible - massively unsafe for anything other
than urban-street-lit driving IMO.
