Hey all, thought I would just do a quick write up on my new hids I got for my 93 lincoln. I got the 55 watt 4300k 9005 slims for Retro Solutions. I thought for sure I would need the wiring harness but decided not to order one and just plug and play and see it would work. This truly was a simple plug and play instillation. No problems once so ever and that surprised the hell out of me. Two things to note. I have underdrive pulleys. When the car is at idle and the huge wattage items come on such as the fan and pump, my volts drop below 12. The hids will not run under the 12 volt mark. I changed the alt pulley and raised idle rpm a few. So far no problems. Another note, sometimes it trips the “check headlights” sometimes it does not…I don’t know… but I plan to clip the wire. I would say they are about three times as bright as the old ones and I can now see very well. In all..a very good buy for the Lincoln.
