RE: Getting a new b5

Sidenote - how easy is it to drop HID's in it? It's got projectors but they have halogen bulbs in them as of now. I had HID's in the old b5 is it a similar install? I couldn't find a DIY for the 1-piece lights on audidiy.com....

It's the same. Drill a hole, install the bulb, mount the ballast.
