Default ACA or Not ACA

Yes alot has changed. They are plug and play car harness to Ballest to HID bulb. For the projector you will need H11 t o fit. The H11 low beam. Hi beams already has a hologen bulb. You may find these to be cheap. But I rather call them affordable.
Your low beam (projectors) will shut of when hi beam is in use the more expensive have a mechcal gate there is a name for it But something I can't recall anyway when you turn on the hi beam the gate opens and the low beam sprays the HID with no cutoff.
I too have had them on since 07 last year I replaced them with a black out. And it kill the whole purpose of doing headlight upgrade. I'll include a pic on the next post

Just spent some more time at the Sharp Light Innovations website, and answered most of my own questions... It specifies, no grinding, etc. Great Install video on there, and he didn't pull out a grinder/Dremel. Lol. These are expensive, and after watching the video, I'm wondering if it will lead me to replacing all of the outside lighting, it looked so good... also that much more $$$. Now that I know it's truly "bolt on", it's definately doable for me. I don't think there is a lot of "return on investment", so it's an upgrade you just do for yourself...and I do really like the looks.
Thanks for "pushing" me to the SLI products and website. If I do it, I won't look any further.
