I guess i'm kinda at an impasse.
I figured maybe ya'll could give me a bit of insight.
I've got an 07 fusion and i drive alot through wooded and farmfield country up here in the thumb of michigan, and here in the fall and winter i find myself driving to work and home from work in the dark. Now it doesn't take a genius to know that we have lots of deer and other critters up here.
What i'm driving at is i want to upgrade to hid's. Now most of the time the roads i take aren't too busy and i drive with my highs on a lot, but it doesn't give me the light output that i need to be able to see as well as i'd like.
Now i'm considering upgrading the lows and high beams, but i'm not sure if that'll give me the best result.
Would it be better to upgrade say the fogs and the highs, and leave the lows normal so they don't affect other drivers?
I'm not against re-aligning my headlamps so i don't blind people. I'm also confused on what power to get, i know the 55w lights are pretty darn bright, but would they cause issues in the high beam slots? Because the area for the high beam is much smaller than the lows so i figured heat might be a factor there.
Or would 35w be just fine for my endeavor.
Another thought did cross my mind and that was to buy a milan hood and milan headlamps, that way i'd have projectors already but then my car might have a identity crisis. lol
Seriously though, anyone have any opinions either way?
