I installed this HID kit in my fog lights today.

Ordered theses the other day, they shipped them out the same day UPS.

http://hidny.com/product.sc?categoryId=37&productId=86

It took about 45 minutes to install them. The instructions were weak, but after laying it all out, it went together easily. Plug and play no splicing, just had to figure out the connections. The only modification I had to make was to drill a 1 inch hole with a hole saw in the back of the cap of my projector housing. Mine are an H3 Bulb. The kit came with the grommet to fit the new hole.

They fired right up, no error codes, extremely bright, no additional wiring or harness or resistors needed. All in all very pleased and reasonably priced.

I had wrestled with Heon xeon match bulbs. One lasted a 2 months, the day I got the replacement the other side puked, now they want the burnt out bulb before they issue another.

X-pipe should be here before the end of the week.

They are far superior to the standard lights. Way more peripheral lighting.
