my two cents...ive done crazy amounts of hid swaps into cars and found about 90% of the high/low wiring is backward into the magnet relay.. the crazy light throwing and too bright problems people are having?.. are they high/low or single beam?. i just did 5k's in my stock housings and fogs and they focus beautifully and dont piss anyone off.. that was after i changed the high/low wiring to how it should be..
Most people do a single beam on the 97-03 cars.
So it must be stuck on high beam when they do a single beam? Interesting.
I'm going to get a dual beam hid kit from vvme.
Pretty much you have no high beam function. The dual beam kits are pretty useless on these cars.
I have the dual beam kit.... And I have never fixed the harness to make the highs work.. Thats how Bad ASS the lows are...
Or how much the light scatters
Well I definitely want the highs to work also, how do I go about doing that?
You don't have to use projectors it's too much money for not that great of looking headlights. Just get a higher kelvin temp hid bulb. Like 8000k to 12000k the color drowns out some light but their still bright as hell. Whatever you do don't get 55w they run too hot and drown out color and you will get flashed everytime. I run 35w 10000k and if your not a retard when aiming them people will never flash you, like me I never get flashed.
Yea cause upping the Kelvin temp and adding more color to drown out light is the right way to do things.
you get the right HID bulb then highs/lows work lol its like 30 bucks more or so

It's got a magnetic base that tilts the bulb for the high beam. IF you can adjust the base properly you can actually get a very controlled beam pattern. I'll find the thread that shows how to do this. If you're willing to take a couple hours and modify the base I would actually recommend HID's in stock capsules cause the glare is no different than a stock halogen. It's just multiple times brighter
Here ya go. http://www.grandprixforums.net/ultim...read-2415.html
Notice the drastic difference in the output and pattern? It's like pic 10
Do it. Don't listen to people crying about HID's in stock housings. They don't understand how to look on the other side of the road. They're like a deer caught in the headlights..."OMG look at this jackass with his HID's!!! JUST LOOK AT THEM- *CRASH*"
Figure it out, stop complaining about it.
Morimoto has been known for quality stuff. Could try a set of their bulbs and see how the pattern is. I would email and ask for specs though before I dropped money on them.

Morimoto makes good projectors.
I just put a set of DDM in my stock housings last month.... They had to be re-aimed but other than that there fine. Only been flashed once
