Run a search for one of Elan's threads. He had a lot of info on DRL's.

Nice setup. It fits the overall color scheme. But why the front tag re-locate?

About the plate re-locate...You can probably get away w/adding a custom plate to the existing mounts since you moved the original plate.

I'm glad we don't have to have double plates in Alabama yet...that would be a pain for me to deal with.

Nice job on keeping the engine bay clean. What do you use to keep it that way? You have the advantage since you park in a garage. Seeing as I live in the boon docks & my parents don't have a garage (yet), I have to park under the trees. Tree sap & bird turd everywhere!!

They usually draw 35 watts if that helps.

Degreaser and a pressure washer. It's a 90 second job.

I've read in other forums that people are having problems with fuses/relays blowing with the HID set up? Have you had this problem with yours? thanks.

I have HID 8000k on mine for over a year now and it's great . Not just for the looks, it really makes a difference. 8000K is a lettle bit blue , but the reflection from the white lines on the road with 8000k gives you the feeling of a runawya before take off. It's amazing . Way to go fella.

ive seen some kits draw 55W and some draw 35W.... since the J uses 55W stock bulbs, it wouldnt hurt by using a 35W set, would it???

Also, ive seen some kits for hid that have green, or pink, or pure blue bulbs. any hid kit would work for those bulbs, like if i was to pick up a 6000K kit, i should be able to swap the bulbs out for any other temp w/out any problem, right??

CAn you tell me where & which brand of the side marker lights next to the headlghts you bought? They look like they match the HIDs much better that OEM. Someone posted on our boards before about it but I can't find it now.

Never mind I found the post.
