Default tons of questions HID's, K04's, alingment

so, finally got some time and money to put into this car. first off, i got the car wiht an HID conversion, but now when i turn the headlights on one side works fine, but the other one turns on for a minute but then turns off, any ideas why?? r maybe a wiring diagram of how it should have been converted. then curious what's the easiest way to do a k04 conversion, what all do i need and where can i get it cheap? lastly, does anyone do some semi agressive autoX, what kind of tow do you run in the front? thanks guys!!!

Do the work yourself and you can be Stage 3- for under $3000 (turbos, inlets). Complete kits WITH fueling start around $5000 and go to about $9000, then add on another $3000 or so for downpipes and intercoolers. This is ignoring all of the "extra" things you may need to do "while your in there" or for relyability. HAVE FUN!

HID comes stock

Just did my first autox event this weekend i dont know enough to be able to change my allignment settings for better performance, i just upped the tire pressure in the back....

not only toe but camber you would want to adjust too so you get the tires to lean. If I do remeber correctly when i aligned my car, the camber is non adjustable.

Camber is not adjustable stock. There are a couple companies out there that make heim joint control arms that allow complete adjustment of camber, caster, and tow. I had them on my last b5 and they worked great.
