Question on HID's

If you plan on getting HID's is it worth it to buy this wire harness?
If so what else do you need besides the harness?

Or are they just saying Hids when they mean hi powered regular H4 Lights? Cause I know 100w lights will melt the stock harness.

Real HIDs do not require an upgraded harness. They actually draw less current than regular bulbs.

Some cars wiring can operate HIDs normally without any problems. However, eventually something will degrade and malfunction. HIDs draw more current during start-up than stock but once it's on, it does draw less current than the stock setup...

Here's more info...

You might also want to get 97 + headlght housing the beam patern still sucks but you won't blind oncoming traffic as badly.
