Head light help Please!!!!!

Ok so im going to be buying some projector headlights and some HIDS and just had some questions? and if this is somewhere else feel free to link it to me I have been looking for hours and cant find anything and i dont know much about this
1) do our cars need a relay harness or can we use PnP?
2)what ballast do I need 35w or 50w
3)If I get the projectors do I just need one set of HIDS or do i need to sets one for high beams and one for low?

these are the projectors im getting http://shop.3bspecialties.com/produc...productId=1325

thanks for your help!

1) should just be plug and play, most HIDs are
2) I think you can use either ballast, the 50w one is just brighter (someone chime in please)
3) One set of HIDs would be the lows, for the highs I'd suggest just leaving it the normal bulb that comes with the projectors, you probably won't be using them anyway.

the relay is ultimately the better way to hook it up especially if you get the 50w ballast and like c0 said low beam is normally just fine but you can hid them both

Honestly it's a gamble to me. Most of all aftermarket housings come from overseas and are cheaply made. So you might be a fortunate one who possesses on w/o any prob's or could be the opposite.

50 wattt ones are generally made for the Bi-Xenon (hi's and low's)
If I were you I would stick to the 35 watt ones and skip the
high beams
You need the relay in any case so make sure you kit has it.
My kit came with Philips Ballasts, which are used in most of the high end cars , it was more money but worthit.
It is only 35 watts and does have a relay
