Default Regular to Xenon light conversion

I'm wondering what is needed to install Xenon light in a conventional light RX330. I'm sure its lights, balasts, and bulbs but will the wiring work or will there be a conflict?

If you are worry about melting the wiring, you can draw the power directly from the battery. Some kits comes with that harness. Do you have projector headlights?

I don' have the projectors either, I'm not worried about melting the wires since xenons take less power, just wanted to know if they have the same plugs and if it is not going to conflict with the auto settings and daytime running lights.

If you dont have projectors, you are going blind the other drivers on the road and the cops would not like it too much either. Xenon does take less power once its started, but on the starting cycle, Xenon takes much more energy to start up compare to halogen, thats when you might melt the wires or the connectors. If you buy a HID conversion kit, it will have the same plugs as your factory one. Try Xenon depot, one of our site sponsors, they have pretty good customer service. Also, HID will not affect the auto headlight setting or the day time running light.
