HID


So when my DRL are on they keep cutting out. when i take my ebrake off they'll either both turn on then off, or one will turn on, or none will, take your pick, and then when my headlights are on, recently the drivers side has been cutting out alot. i bought the kit from american muscle and i dont know if this is a frequent problem or not but i want to fix it
thanks

How exactly does an HID kit work and is there really that much of a difference? I just bought clear cornered smoked headlights for mine and the lights EFFin suck... Even worse than the stockers. Is it worth it to spend 200+ dollars?

Sorry to hijack
