Back in the old days, they used to use kerosene lamps.

Ask the Acura owners. They are being targeted so often by the cheapass Honda civic owners (the street racers type), those who steal their HIDs, Alloy wheels, and worst motors so that they can pump up their car.

This deserves a ban, if you ask me.

Happy Holiday's everybody... I've not been on here in a while. Looks like things are good, other than the occasional dipsh!t.

From everything I've ever read, if they cut the wires that run to the bulbs (the big high-voltage wires), you're going to have to replace them - you don't want to try and splice those wires. Whether the splice would hold up or not is immaterial - do you want to risk that kind of voltage on a connection that may not be 100% reliable? You could be looking at a fire. Check eBay for someone selling used OEM HIDs, or just buy an aftermarket kit - either way is inexpensive enough that it's worth doing.
