Real xenon HID headlight kit? V70-XC70 1999

Sin,

I don't have the HID kit on the car yet, that's the problem. I was planning on doing it this past weekend, when I noticed the dimming problem. I know that the HID kit would suck up a lot of juice as well so I decided not to put it on. I'm hoping it's just the battery so that I'll just replace it with a better one.
Anyways, I got a Hanabi 6000k kit through a group deal about two months ago. $400 shipped. It took a long time to get things started because I was waiting the custom brackets I had made to mount the starter and ballast. It will look a lot cleaner. I didn't want to mount it on the battery. Plus, if there's something wrong with the kit, I can take it off as a whole unit instead of part by part. I'm not sure if my kit has relays, I posted pictures of it in the gallery if you want to take a look, I don't think it did. Anyways, I'm planning on going through the stock wiring (I plan on upgrading that as well.) We'll see how that goes. Don't worry, I plan on writing a detailed write-up and tons of pictures for everyone as well as CAD drawings for the brackets.

Regards,
Mike H.
