Hid

what is the temp rating for the S2000 HID's?

[repiv]

I believe they are "D2S" 4300K bulbs.

They are also 35 watt. I bought some 55 watt bulbs with new ballasts. The instructions recommended up grading the fuses from 20a to 25-30a. I have not installed them yet. I am waiting for warmer weather.

Interesting, please give us the details on what and where you got them and a review once you have them working.

I'm just a little nervous about the additional current draw on the electrical system so when I do install them I will do one at a time.I got them from www.izntrbL.com

The stock high beams are already 55W. I don't know if this is comparable to an HID system. You may only need to be concerned when you use both your new HIDs and the high beams together. I tend to think that an additional 15W draw isn't so bad since I've seen some S2000s running fog lamps in the fake airducts as well. I've also seen "cat eyes" mounted in the grill opening. I'm sure on those cars, the overall draw would exceed what you're about to do.

while on the subject, and not to :threadjack:
is there a bulb and ballast assembly to use, if I wanted the Blue HID's ? like when they first turn on??
and they are "D 2S"

You could look at the sight, I think there is a phone # there.

My only concern is the low beam wiring. Fog lights run on a different circuit and so do the High beams.

I wouldn't do it. Not worth the risk of burning up the Wiring. I upgraded my D2S bulbs from the oem 4300K to 6000K. And from 6000K to 8000K. The 8000K will give you the startup blue-ish light, but there's less light. I wouldn't go over 6000K.
