A couple of comments.
1 - Bounty is absolutely correct. Wiring lights direct to the 12v source is 100% outside of the CanBus system.
2 - I modified my halogen quad lights with HID Bi-Xenon Projectors and 55w ballasts. I am running projectors in each of the high and low lights, 4ea 55w projectors are lighted on low and on high. On low, they are adjusted so lights do not hit any oncoming driver in the eyes and about the top of a Camry trunk when pulling up behind a car. I have never been flashed. I have not heard of anyone else running with 4 Bi-Xenon projectors at the same time, on low or on high.
The purpose of my post is to assure the naysayers that 55w running light systems are not a problem if installed and adjusted properly. To the folks who say never put an HID in a quad light reflector, using the right projector negates the quad reflector, the light beam control is all in the Bi-Xenon projector.
My only complaint with HIDs is if they are properly adjusted, and on low, the cutoff is so close and abrupt it is easy to overdrive your headlights. It's okay in the city stop and go driving but on a rural road it is not good. This is where LEDs are king.
