getting ready for HID light install this weekend need to upgrade the amperage of the fuse..so where would I find the headlight fuse?

 

SPIKE, I would suggest to you an ANYONE. IF you plan on modding your car goto the dealer, spend the $50, get the shop manual and the electrical manual.

and yes they are better then HMA if they had it for the 03.

Also, look on your fuse box cover, it should say which one is headlights.

 

There should be 4 total fuses

2 in the passenger compartment for high/low beam
2 in the engine comparment for high/low beam

I do NOT suggest that you attempt to use the stock wiring to power the HID's. Do NOT upgrade the stock fuses.

Wire the HID's directly to the battery, and use a relay to power them on and off via the stock wiring. That way you don't have to upgrade any fuzes, and you know you are getting 100% pure power through high quality wire.

 

Well I basically havea plug and play set of HIDs...so how would I do U idea Random?

Check this out, my kit came as 'plug and play' too, you just have to splice into the connection wires:

Cut the wire before the ballast input connector there and route it to the coil side of the relay, then wire an independant power line to the connector itself, through the switched side of the relay. Some ballasts have the starter built-in, but the principle is the same. I used 10 gauge wire for the power and it works great.

Don't forget to put a fuse on the positive line within 12" of the battery.

Like the man said.

Mine were "plug and play" too, but they didn't work right as plug and play. After wiring them in with a relay, they work flawlessly.
