Also, I have heard mixed things about the HID conversions. I've heard that they do better in the newer style jeweled headlights than they did in the older style headlights, but I'm not for sure. I just upgraded to 80/100 watt bulbs and a harness, both of which helped.
As far as the diesel tech stuff goes, I wish I could help, but i've a V10
I converted my 2000 X to HID's I also changed the headlight and the turn signal to a clear ones. They look awesome and work great at night. Here are some pics.
FWIW, I heard that retrofitting to HIDs is illegal according to The DOT. There is no retrofit HID system that is DOT compliant. Only OEM ones qualify. You could run into inspection troubles if true.
i am in the process of doing a real hid conversion on my X now. not the junk hid conversion kits. but i am using projectors from an 06 caddy srx. pics in my gallery on progress so far.
