sorry to disapoint you...but those are not HID xenon...they are xenon look......
but you can find for $60-$70 on ebay, a real HID xenon kit....... remembe that a HID kit has to have two ballasts at least, depending on the kit, and two HID bulbs...... |

You'll need the single filament H4 size. A set of 4300k single filament HIDs are $150. |

Anything over 55/60 watts might run the risk of frying the harness. 55 low beam and 60 high beam. I fried a harness on my truck by using high wattage headlights. The Osram Nightbreakers and the Philips X-treme headlights from the UK at www.powerbulbs.com are really bright. Not as bright as HID but they have a heck of alot brighter and whiter then stock and cheaper then HID and no blinding glare. These are Xenon gas filled headlights.

i run higher wattage bulbs in my yaris, but bought a heavy duty wiring kit for the headlamps....beats stock bulbs
but any halogen bulb brand you pick will likely be fine if its stock wattage....

I just received my Philips X treme bulbs a few hours ago in the mail. I will let you know how they compare to the Osram Nightbreakers which didn't last very long for me. I would say they lasted about 6 months if even that. Got them from the U.K. in 6 days and shipping is free.
