HID bulbs technically wont burn out for like 3-4 years, if they do before you just got a bad batch, i usually have my pass HID usually not come on, i think my harness is messed up thats why, but anything else they work great

get the original style projectors if you get HIDS, the stock housings have halogen reflectors and make the lighting go everywhere. You will blind everyone on the road if you use HIDs in a stock halogen reflector housing.
