Ok, well I got in with the first group buy way way back a year and some ago with adam bloom @ z1 performance. Neways, they are killer projector lights and I think theya re a huge improvement over stock. Yet, now after a year of putting around with these projectors. I think it is time to upgrade...again So i am looking at HIDs. A friend of mine can get me a good set but I need to find out what will work in my car.
What size bulbs to the new age morettes have? I looked around and kept finding answers that were diffrent from eachother. I think they are h7 low beams and h1 brights but I have also heard that is it h3 brights. so I am a little confused.
Also, I have DRL. If I get aftermarket HIDs for the morettes will DRL effect it?
Finally. The morettes are made from what seems to be a ABS type stong plastic. should I worry about melting them if I upgrade?
i have Benz HIDs in my Morettes, you will not have to worry about them melting at all, also the bulbs that come in the Morettes are H7 low beams and H1 high beams
also about the DRL question. once you put the HIDs in you will have to disconnect the DRL unit behide the glove box, i can explane it better if you need to know
Yes you have to disconnect the main DRL module to get rid of the DRLs permanently if you install HIDs.
As for the plastic melting you have nothing to worry about in any case, it is high-temp stuff and will hold up no matter what (it has to withstand direct sunlight in the summer, right? Much hotter than your lights.) Besides, HIDs actually generate LESS heat than the original halogens. They generally operate at about 35 W compared to 55 W for regular bulbs.
HID's, there are Hella, PIAA, Westinghouse, and many more...don't "just" change the bulb (H3, H4...) in the old fixture, get an HID fixture for proper light dispersion.
