My question is can you not just buy an h8 35w hid kit and install them in place of the factory halo bulb or would heat become a serious issue here.

In advance thanks for the info!

Thanks Kirby.

You can't just install a generic 35w HID kit and be done. This car dims your angel eyes depending on if your lights are on or lights are off. So the voltage won't be correct. The only way to avoid this is either through coding (the right way), or the use of a Angel Eye HID Kit which has the appropriate relays and wiring to make sure the HID's stay on. It's also worth noting most ballast won't fit in the area so some cutting or drilling may be required for the wiring to feed out.

Perfect. Thank you for a straight forward answer. That's what I needed to know!
