They are a dime a dozen off of ebay
2 Car Bulb HID Anti-Flicker Capacitor Error Cancellers on eBay.ca (item 250764192499 end time 26-Feb-11 02:25:32 EST)
if you are going the relay route,. you dont need any hid kits with the code elimiator built in because they will be powered directly from the 12v off the batt. The anit flicker module (just a capacitor) will go between the cars original harness and the activation side of the relay; to eleminate the funky volatge from causing the relay to chatter or do wierd stuff. But like i mentioned before, i dont know if the crossfires have some type of weird pulsed sensing voltage thingy like the LX cars do.
Once the spring comes around ill be doing a whole detailed thread regarding the HID install with relays for the hi/lo's and fogs. There are some other HID install threads on this info packed forum, so just search around.
As an FYI to anyone else wanting to go HID, and ill show a few tidbits of what im doing to my lights.....I remember in the past about someone going on being all anit-HID and saying that when you turn your high beams on, that you will have no light for a few seconds (they do take a few seconds to go to full brightness), and would be dangerous when driving... on the crossfire however when you turn your highbeams on, the lows stay on as well, people also say "
because they wernt designed for HID's, they will blind other drivers", which is true for headlight housings that are not projector style (majority of cars out there). The crossfire has a properly designed projector housing, and HID's work great in these cars when properly installed and adjusted.
Ive actualy have my headlights taken apart right now, almost done tinkering with them, i tried them out with the 55w, and the cuttoff is absoluetly perfect on the lows (highbeams dont need it). I went with 4300k 55w, and tried it out in the front yard. They are soo ridiculously bright, i was laughing for 10 min after, thinking about how insane these will be. i have some pics below. I stiched the one together, i took these in the fall, and i dont have a pic with just the lows on. The glare you can see from the side of the headlights are just from the opening of the glass housing (i didnt have any of the trim peices on; those who have taken these light apart before will know what i mean). And they look a bit yellowish white. Its just the white balance on the camera going all funky. The 4300k's are nearly pure white.
Heres a pic of what the cut off of the lows look like, and the high's on the celing They were upside down.
Plus a sneek peek of what ive been doing to these lights... more to come
I can switch the blue and whites independly, and theres also another 2 mods that i will show later on
