So, what is the difference between the BRP HID kit and the Xenon Depot kit?
-
On both my Iraqi projects; I noticed very heavy usage of LED light clusters on many US military vehicles. They all put out a very blue white light; though I imagine they weren't just for the light, but the reduced power draw on most mil spec vehicles already overworked electrical systems. I noticed the OP titled this thread LEDs, then talked about HIDs exclusively in his post; hopefully he's aware they are different tech.

Here's a visual for you to compare
On Teds Red Sled, we originally had stock lights all around, but found them lacking when on our SITA trip last year and we got to the campground around midnight, which had no lights at all, and it was a bear to find Randy & Holly's campsight with the OEM lighting we had. I called and talked with Steve from XenonDepot (one of our site sponsors) & he was very helpful in explaining everything to me about lighting & HIDs & at that time, we ordered the HID Kit for the HeadLights only. After install, which we did ourselves, we were very happy with the difference from the OEM headlights to the AfterMarket HID headlights and had gone that way for a few months, but then I couldn't stand how 'dingy' and almost orange/faded yellow our OEM FogLights looked compared to the BRIGHT WHITE of our HID HeadLights, so Teddy had me once again call Steve & we ordered the HID FogLight replacements from him as well. They sat on a shelf for a while, til I finally got Teds Sled ready for our (had to cancel) SpyderQuest trip, and set about installing them ourselves as well. I think this picture really speaks for itself, but just in case, all the bright white lights you see are the HIDs & the one 'dingy' fog light you see is still the OEM before we replaced it. And just an FYI, not that I'm knocking the BRP HIDs, but I believe you can get the XenonDepots HID Kits for around $200 +/- for a set

Thanks to ARCTIC I was able to get a HID kit for mine and with a little modification was able to work on my 13 RSS and has a great choice, well worth the money. You won't be disappointed .
The actual BRP kit is a little pricey unless you can find them on clearance or eBay.
BRP kit comes with new headlight assemblies

I did thanks Steve, but the wire colors on the connection they reversed the polarity on are different from his to mine see if I can post this pic:uploadfromtaptalk1380376241086.jpg

You do not modify that connector at all. Swap the black and white wires on the mating connector in the harness with the kit. End result should be black to black (ground) and white to yellow or whatever color your positive wire is.

AbNormy: jcthorne is correct. You do not modify your OE wiring, you simply reverse the locations of the wires on our harness. Take a look at this video on how to reverse polarity:
