Question HID 55w help.

Hi, I wasn't getting any responses in the "HID Thread" so I came here. Anybody know if I can run 4300k 55w hid headlights in my stock housing WITHOUT melting or frying anything? I need to know if I'll need relay harnesses. I'm thinking I should be fine without the harnesses as the stock bulbs themselves were 55w...

most likely it's wired for 9006 but yes you can make it work.

You'll be fine don't need anything and you dont need a harness. And just because you don't get a response within a few hours doesn't mean you have to start a thread be patient you'll get your answers!
