I'm guessing these aren't going to be in huge demand. By the time they warm up, you're going to be turning them off (going forward). They are going to have a short lifespan with that kind of use. Too much cost and effort for minimal returns, IMO.

If you're willing to sit there in reverse while your lights warm up, then it's more about having HIDs than having a practical setup.

If you follow thru with this, wire in a switch to manually turn them on also, blinding *******s behind you is mad fun.

Still in the works hit a few snags. The bulb is a modified version of a 880 bulb.
all the bulbs your referring to are t10 but in this case you cant use the stock housing connector. The HID bulb will create the airtight seal.

i ran the 35 watt at 80 degress for 10min, 30min , and finally 3 hours. There was some discoloration in the lens. I would be very careful if i were you.

for now, no signs of melting or peeling inside the backlights after the year and a half of 35W H3 (the shortes) HID!

Xenon in the back up lights! - G35Driver

Hey harpoon how did you mount the bulb in the tailight and you ran the wires through the stock grommet?

my tuning body shop did it, but it wasn't hard, they just used some kind of the metallic web to make custom housing and wired the xenon blocks directly to the battery (using the cord, that I already had for the aftermarket audio amplifier)
