when running hids...you dont need to change the battery.

the lights are alright bright as crap. so even if it dims, you cant even notice it.

car audio....its suggested but you dont have to.

im running hids. and 800rms of audio equipment, and it doesnt dim.


i would hold off on the battery. but yellow tops are really nice.

Upgrading the alternator is the way to go.
Alternator provide power when the engine is running.
Battery only power things when engine is off.
Upgrading the battery only allow you to run your accesssories longer before starting the engine to recharge the battery.
