Just got a PX3 XLT with 25w HID low beam and Halogen high beam. Looking to improve the high beams before I add a Stedi light bar later on. Prefer a warmer 4500k colour instead of the white 6000k colour, hence choosing HID over LED.

Any issues or suggestions around replacing the factory high beam halogen globes with a HID kit? I think they're HB3 9005 fitting.

Stedi do a 35w Xenon HID kit, but they're D1S D3S or D5S. Not familiar with those standards.

Not finding anything else that looks like it will fit within the factory light enclosure that would work & allow the sealed cap to screw back on at the rear.

If you are going to use HID, use a relay so as not to harm the BCM.
