getting mine from ddmtunning...hella cheaper than hid country. i thought high priced hid kits were already phased out,almost a $100 for an had kit its nuts when u can purchase them for cars less than that..this isnt 1999. thanks for the tip!
I have them in several bikes and my car, too. The light you get from the 35w HID will exceed that of the 55W stock hi beam. Put the 35w in your sporty and be done with it, you really won't need the hi beam. The 35w ballast is about 2/3 the physical size of the 55W, too making it easier to hide.
