Has anyone put non-HIDs on a car that came with HIDs? I know the wiring is different but are there any negative effects of splicing the wires and using non-HID headlights? I'm just wondering because I'm fixing my second rx8 but this ones HID were smashed and I already have a set of halogens.

 

Put a set of DDM 55 Watt 5000k in my buddies 05, and it works just fine, the cutoff is still pretty decent, no wire melting, etc. Every once in a while one doesn't fire, but all you have to do is flip the switch again and it's fine.

It'll be fine, plus it looks 20213135153 times better.

 

thanks for the info. I just bought some new HIDs but I got a pretty good deal on them.

 

Not a problem, post some pics of the cutoff when you get them in.

 

I've had mine on for almost 5 yrs. No problems.

 

i put a set of HID's in a non HID car in like 2006, and i used the OE light assemblies, which have the bulb and ballast, and i believe the only difference was the connector, if that. car has been problem free since

 

Dangit, I wish I hadn't bought new HIDs then
