HID replacement for 350SD?
 

I want to know if it's possible to replace stock headlights and / or fog lights with HID for 91' 350SD.
Questions:
- What on-line retailers supply reliable HID replacement?
- Would the replacement fit perfectly or would they require body/harness mods?
- What mods to electrical system (e.g., fuses) are required to do this?
- In NJ, where I live, 'blue lights' are not legal, so what color temp (Kelvin) HID lamps should be used? I was told some where around 4300K - is that right?

Bottom line: Is this a DIY job? I am handy, but I might not have all the tools ...

Thank you.

Hello zanibrainy,

there´s no Xenon designed to be for Your vehicle.

Re-fitting is maybe possible but I don´t know, if it is allowed in Your country
without automatically heith adjustment and head light cleaning device.

There are already a couple of threads here about this topic... already tried?

Yes, the light colour between 4100 and 4900 is more white. The higher the light temperatur is, the more it get´s to blue, like for example about 8000K

regards
Peter

We have high quality HID kits available. We also have 4300K bulbs that are more white than blue.
