Default Re: Buying a Xenon light kit

People say that I have to change the ballasts and other stuff...what is that, and what do I need for a true xenon light kit?
There's Xenon bulbs (H7), sure $80 would cover it and they'd plug right in place of stock bulbs. But Xenon bulbs are >NOT< HID. HID requires balasts, which the stock Crossfire does not have. $300 for low-beam and another $300 for high beam (though I wouldn't bother, you'd likely rarely use high beam once you have HID's for low beam).
