HID plug and play kits are a waste of money. HID bulbs are not designed to work in halogen reflectors. the HID bulbs are the wrong length, and end up scattering light all over the place. sure, they look brighter, but you are probably going to get less light where you want it (on the road ahead of you). plus, you are going to piss off all the drivers coming toward you b/c your headlights are scattering light every which-way. i see it every night i drive... all the stupid honda civics with their "HID" headlights.

now that thats taken care of. inrush current doesn't last too long. it *shouldn't* be a problem. but if you are worried, run a relay switched wire from the battery. what size is the wire in the stock harness?

HID's in reflector housings are a waste of money and just simply look bad.
if you are going to put the HID's in the factory housings, make sure that the housings can take the heat being put out from the bulbs. you dont want your housings to melt on you.
HID's are best in projectors. one bad side of the projectors are that they are not DOT approved.
if you get an inspector that know's his stuff he wont pass you.
