Fluid checks done... nothing needed... not having a plenum issue (need to add oil regularly) is so good.
Next is to plan out routing for a harness for my HID's... I want to plug it into the drivers side light socket and use that to trigger relays for separate Lo/Hi circuits to the HID ballasts that will be mounted just behind the lights... I'm thinking fuses and relays will go somewhere close to the PDC.
The ballasts draw a maximum of 4.8A each, and spike at maybe 10A on startup... 18g wire should be fine (good for 15A up to 10')... I'll fuse each one at 15A, and 30A at the supply on 16g wire (good for 30A up to 5').
I picked 35w 5k HID's, so the lighting is better for me, but not obnoxious for others... the lenses I have seem to have a good top cutoff line.

This was from the night I put them in before they were aimed down. I got new stock housings.
I'll try to snap some pics on the road. I've had them for 3 months and love them, I can actually see!
Several of us on another forum have them. Here's another to give you an idea.
