Shark Racing carries 3 different versions of HID's. They range in price from $400 to $550 for 2 bulbs. Tibbies would need 2 sets to do low beams and high beams.

Or you coud just get the low beams.

I remember reading an article about why factory oem HID are not high beam as well. HID technology was only met for the low beam. something about how it reflects. Of course REAL HID uses a special bulb and a special HOUSING for that bulb.

I read on some board that a 2k tib (i think) had installed HIDs, but the bulb was so long they hit the plastic shield inside the headlight. Said he had to drill it out or something, wasn't happy about it.

yeah they are exact replicas except has a glass top, has some city bulbs built into the bright housing, and the vision line is different (how the lights shine out)

Random, by running two wires for the city lights I assume that would be just a switched positive and a ground? Or did I Misinterpret?

2 wires need to go to the city lights. One power, one ground. Where you get the power and ground from are up to you.... tongue.gif
