HID to halogen
Hi, We recently purchased the 2013 CX 5 Grand Touring model with the Tech package that includes HID headlamps with AFS. My wife hates the HIDs and I have to admit I'm not too fond of them. The sharp cut-off simply provides too much "dark" area where I should be able to see without using high beams. Would much prefer to have halogen lamps. Everything I can find talks about switching from halogen to HID, but I'm interested in trying to find out if it is possible to switch out the HID for Halogens. I figure I'd have to get the ballast out of the circuit, but don't know if that entails cutting wires. Would appreciate any thoughts that you folks might be able to offer. Thanks.
