Welcome!  :worthless:

I think your best bet for the 'HID' would be OEM Xenons? There's plenty of info about them on the forum, have a look on the search function, I'm sure you'll stumble upon some useful stuff!

As for the remaps, I don't know cause I haven't got one, but I'll be going to R-Tech when I do!  :party:

Get some pics up!

That should be of some use

Welcome mate, genuine xenon's or xenon lookalikes they look the part and light up the road well. Plenty of tuning companies out there but i'd go with Revo, APR or R-Tech. :worthless:
