<VV> HID headlight converstion kit

I can. The stock wiring has a lot of voltage drop, as much as 2 volts.  Given 
that the output of an incandescent lamp goes with the 3.5 power of its  
voltage, that means a 71% increase in brightness over old, stock wiring, if  you 
use relays with a direct shot to the battery. 
Also, sometimes E code headlights cause the circuit breaker to blink the  
high beams, since they draw more juice.

"those damn  bright headlights."??The properly designed optics create a bright,
