HID lamp installed...by mistake

<center><img src="http://rolandcbr.8m.com/images/newrims.jpg"></center><p>Had front end damage repaired at a bodyshop (not dealer) and my driver's headlight had to be replaced(halogen). Got my '99 2.8 back today and found out tonight that I now have a Xenon headlight. I'll probably try and get the halogen changed out to match my new Xenon headlight. What a headache, but it may turn out as a cool upgrade

Ummm - Xenon's are a LOT more than a bulb. Gotta have a Ballast and Ignitor too.

Ummm- that's what the guys at the body shop installed: ballast/igniter & new headlight housing. It just doesn't look right...neighbors were asking, "what the hell is up with your lights?" Oh well, I 'll see what the bodyshop and insurance will say tomorrow.
