Re: Hid or led light

So you just want to swap out the bulbs? You can upgrade to a better bulb or put in LED bulbs.

Does it have a projector style headlight in it?

HID's will require a ballast to run them which connects to a relay that is hooked into the car battery to supply power.

Re: Hid or led light

I have HIDs in my 2018. I do have it hooked directly to my battery, however, but HIDs work better that way. With HIDs, you typically get what you pay for, just saying.

I'm rocking those. H11B in 5500K color, with the relay harness. Bought on black friday, was like 127 shipped.

Yes. Like Colin said, everything goes back to the battery for electrical power.
