    I'm not familiar with your car's bulb base type but this might give you some heads-up.

    Wattage: you should ask your uncle what wattage is he going to give you. Most aftermarket and oem projector HID kit have 35w, though some aftermarket use 55w. And some no-name brands go higher than 55w.

    Voltage: the kit will have a ballast to power the HID bulb so you don't have to worry about that since it will still draw power from your cars battery source.

    Color temp: for me 8000kelvin is way too white'ish and almost useless na yan pg umulan or fog. OEM HID uses 4300k only as this gives you more usable light on the road. Kaya some retrofiter nag a-advice to have a maximum of 5000k or 6000k. But you still loose some usable lights on those.

    Read HID FAQ na sticky thread for more info or Garyq's site http://www.hidretrofit.net/V2/upgrad...ghting-system/ or check out this sites HIDRetrofits | A High Performance HID Projector Retrofit Headlights Resource and The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications
