HID retrofit to 9004 generally pretty lousy.

Brighter maybe, probably bad light distribution, aggravate oncoming drivers with glare (no auto leveling like most HID's have OEM), IMHO they should be shot out by the State Police that catch you with them. Or give you a hammer and let you take them out yourself or have the car towed...simple, you can't legally drive at night with the HID bulb retrofit and you can't legally drive at night without lights, ergo tow job plus equipment ticket.
There's a real good reason DOT won't certify any retrofitted HID elements.
If you must have hotter bulbs, use a higher wattage bulb and heavy duty wiring/ausiliary relays.
