Default New member with HID light question

I've had my C5 Z06 for about 3 weeks now. Does anyone have any preferences when it comes to HID lights? Are there any no-nos? I see where the ballasts have different wattages. I don't want to blow out an electrical system. Does anyone know the correct ones to use?

This video is also good. I ended up getting these and its totally changed the look of my Z when the lights are on. It actually looks like a modern car coming down the road instead of "hey why are those headlights yellow?"

It sucks that Jamal only has 1.2k subs because he makes some really great and helpful videos

You should not be throwing in HID's into OEM reflector housings.

Do it properly with projector housings.

My Radio Flyer ACA conversion works very well. What a difference it makes for night time driving.
