I just order HID kit, well got it really cheap, and since the H7ST (Sylvania) are 40+ I decide to just by HID 4300K for $90 and see how is goin go work.

So how many have done it, I am not sure where to hide the ballasts?

Default Re: JimR's aftermarket kit

i changed all original halogen to PIAA xeon bulbs (H1, H3, 9005), but i regret doing that. they are better than the stock halogen and also much better than other fake white lights, still not as good as the ones require HID harness kit install.

on another note, i'm planning to install additional fog lights at lower bumper positions... any suggestions?

Default That wasn't the fogs, it was the lo-beam headlights.

But it was a nicely done kit, and if they do a fog replacement kit, it would probably be a good choice.
