I've driven over 1000 miles with a 96-99 bonnie with HID behind me so I can attest to this more then anyone. They weren't bad, but it certainly stuck out . I've had worse behind me that needed a re aim.

I upgraded my lows, highs and fogs to XD5 bulbs I got on ebay. A friend of mine has them in his truck and they have been great for 2+ years with no probs. I got all 6 bulbs for $30 and they are great, love em'.

But if you still like to go for it.. just be kind and make sure you aim it lower that you don't blind the folks in front of you.. specially a cop unless they're wearing in nite
Halogen housing was design just for that.. not for Xenon - capsules..

Interestingly enough BOTH of my brand new ones just went at the same time. I didnt do anything to the car, havent been under the hood since I put them in. They just both stopped working (blown) at about 4 weeks. I'm done with them and running stock bulbs until I find a suitable replacement.
