Default Hid lighting

Okay I just purchased an HID kit that is 6000k. Well anyway I also have a 20 in light bar, and changed my dome lights, tail lights, and 3rd brake lights to leds. It might be a dumb question but I just want to make sure my battery is fine with the extra power from the lighting. Especially since I will extra power going from the battery to both the light bar and hids. Just making sure I should be fine wiring everything up

You'll be fine. Hopefully you have projectors and not planning on just dropping those HID's in the stock reflector housings... Don't be that guy.

All that new light takes less power than heating up a piece of tungsten enough to glow.

Also, bad things happen to people with HIDs in reflector housings.

You should be fine since HIDs draw less AMPs than the halogen, same for LED lights.

What kind of bad things?? I had a set of HID's in my 99 chevy and never had anything happen,nor did any on coming traffic ever flash me.But I did aim them down a little. and also learned they scatter the light all over but they were still better then the stock headlights.even though they were better then the stock lights I would not do it again. I was just wondering what bad things happen?
