FLASHMSTRC Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I was looking at buying PIAA bulbs to replace the OEM bulbs. Then I was checking out the Apexcone HID kit, but decided I didn't want to stress my factory harness to supply the extra amps, leading to blown fuses, bulbs, etc. So...I found these bulbs that in looking at pictures seem brighter than PIAA with a one year warranty... http://www.therpmstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=155_37&products_id=148 Has anybody used these or know anybody that has had good/bad experiences? I am looking at putting them in my low beams and fogs to have a matching set, all opinions welcome. Thanks in advance for your input... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have been running HIDs directly from stock wiring harness for 2 years...no problems. There is already a factory relay for the stock halogens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 They only carry Apexcone and DDE angel eyes now... Apparently the Xtec was merged with Apexcone and now are one in the same. You can ask RPM about it, but I know he had a thread saying this. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
