Recently bought a 2004 9-5 Aero for my wife and I'm noticing the HID lighting system it has doesn't seem nearly as effective as the e-code lights in my 2001. Is this typical? Or have we all been sold a bill of gooods with this "technology"?
Or maybe these HID bulbs loose effectiveness over time rather than just burn out all at once? This is the first time I've had experience with this kind of light and if this is the way it is, I'm disappointed.
