Some of the H"X" numbers are cross referenced with some of the 900"X" numbers. But I don't know which ones. The only legal HID kits I've seen lately are the ones that are vehicle specific and/or are generic auxillary lighting kits. Prices vary from $300 up to like well over a grand.

You need H1 bulbs for the low beam. Which is wut we're trying to get. The HID system will be bright enough you won't need to use the high beam.

No problem. More good info here:

Maybe they'll expand the Xenarc line to include Mitsubishis.

ok...i've heard though that HIDs won't get you in trouble unless you just aim them lower. That's wut peeps have been doing, so that way no one gets blinded.

While it's kinda OT, it shouldn't be tough to disable daytime running lights in any car. If you're not confident enough in finding the right wires and installing a switch yourself, it shouldn't be any problem for your local garage.

not sure why you'd want to disable them, it's just safer. I never turn my headlights off, want to make sure people can see me comin, ya know?
