HID swap will make the biggest difference, and can be done for under $50 bux. I did a 55 watt 6000k in my 13 Touring and its amazing the difference in light output.
I'd love to hear more about how to do headlight conversion to HID...at reasonable price as suggested. Can you comment on brands, what's involved to install? Thanks.
Buy them from DDM tuning, plug them in. That's about what's involved. Did my touring about 2 months ago so I can't comment on the how robust they are. I got the 35w 5000k kit because I wanted the more stock look and didn't want to risk people flashing me. So far no one has and the light output is great.
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I have a similar issue......I recently had to get new headlights & in an effort to save some money I opted for aftermarket instead of OEM. My guy at the shop did tell me I'm gonna need ballasts cuz the aftermarkets don't come with em, so I figured I'd just get an HID kit while I'm at it. I've used ddm before on my honda & loved it so I went & got their 55w 8k. But my issue now is after going through the connections 3 times, I'm not getting any lights. Anybody has any suggestions?
Hey Aviden, thanks for the tips.
1) I did check the kit before connecting it, I believe there's only one end that has the connection for our bulb type.
2) I did check both fuse in the engine bay
3 & 4) Good ideas, never thought of that. Will check those in the am
