I like it, i didn't think of that when i installed on my former R/T. next time I will definitely do it your way.

Does the "return line" look that far away from the bulb as it does in that pic because I am looking at my spare 4300's and it looks closer.

I got a reply from you on 2gn but it says nothing...

I have both. My hid is the hottest possible 32000 or something. They are purple. (cardomain.com - blueproracer) i have a pic. I did have to drill the hole a little. With hid they have there own grounding and don't need to ground to the assembley. I love it. Alot of people can't figure out what's coming at night.

Any ideas or someone that has the answer please let me know. thanks.

The light output color is measured in Kelvin degrees which have nothing to do with temperature. The wattage is what you should be caring about. Halogens over 55 watts like those that will give you a bluish output will not only melt or fade your headlight housing but they will fry your cables and connector sockets.
If you go the HID route you should be looking into 6000 Kelvin or lower to keep your car on the "legal" side. Anything above 6000K will start looking too blue or even pinkish to the like of law enforcement. Plus the higher the number the less usable light. HIDs come mostly in 35 watts, though you can find 55 watt bulbs and ballasts. You will be more than safe running 35 watt HIDs with properly aligned projectors. No risk of melting or fading, and the car will have a more modern look.
