Thats so sick. I'm not real impressed with the original lighting set up either and would love to switch over to an HID kit. Does the kit run down your battery? And does the H4 bulb plug and play into our housing? If not what problems/ mods did you do? Thanks

So the battery just holds a charge longer or what? Is it different than the original battery?

So since you hardly have it on it doesnt take as much of a toll on your battery I guess? Does ever run it down though?

yes with the stock battery at night the hids will only run for like 2 hours then they start to flicker and then shut off......with the drycell i can run them at night for hours and at the end of the week charge the battery........hope this helps

I wonder if we could parrellel connect another battery for the HID system to run off of... That way you wouldn't have to charge the battery up as often or maybe even at all?
