    So my headlights are working great, but when I turn on my brights the headlight fuse blows every time. Checked all the grounds and everything is peachy. The oem fuse in the fuse box is a 10a, should I up it? I dont want to do any damage however. How can I diagnose the problem?

    Anyone know what size halos I need for Panamera shrouds? I'm reading 120mm on TW and 110mm on TRS.

    Got the panamera 120mm back, 80mm front and all acme stuff with 5000 bulbs. Was the cheapest set in TRS and works damn good for the price

    Check your plug for the high beams. I plugged mine in the other day and bent the tab over so every time I hit the brights it blew the fuse.

    NO!!!

    Do NOT put HIDS in a stock housing! :smack:

    You'll blind everyone everywhere all the time and people will hate you.

    HIDs can only be put in projectors as they don't work the same as a halogen H4 bulb. There is no Hi/Low with HIDs. Its just a shield and the bulb gets physically moved inside the projector(for some). You won't have the shield so you'll just be driving around with your high beams on all the time essentially.

    Plus the halogen reflector will not be efficient with the HID light and it won't be a TON better like it would with a projector.

    You're half way there. Do it right and get the projector now.

    The projector and shroud of your choice basically if you want a simple setup far as i know.

    Can do LED halos if you want.

    Then you have to crack open the head light housings and fit them up. Seal them back and you're good.
