Hey Cody, My name is Troy and I'm a Canadian living in Sweden. I've been trolling the forum and have noticed that you seem to be rather knowledgeable regarding lighting. So I'm reaching out to you in hopes of getting some help. So we have a Fiat Freemont which is basically the same as your Journey. Sweden in winter is DARK and our lights SUCK. Or at least compair to our Audi. So I want to improve the problem. I believe that HID/Xenon is the only way. Problem is in Sweden and most of EU you need HID/xenon from the factory with a auto leveling system built into the lights. Basically a motor in the headlight unit the adjusts the lights every time the car changes angles. If you don't have this then the lights do not get passed on the yearly road inspections. One option is to disscounnect the HID's and put in regular bulbs for the inspection.
So my first question is what are you running on your Journey? How hard was doing the retrofit? Was wiring an issue? Did you buy new light housings remove the glass/plastic and do the retrofit with those? Did you have any issues with the vehicle after the retrofit (such as error codes). I am really wanting a better light out of the vehicle but I need to go about this the right way so that's why I'm asking so many questions. You did an amazing job with yours. Thanks for your time.
