Alright guys i know that the favored hid kit here is DDM tuning and im leaning towards them also because of the lifetime warranty and they are not that expensive either. I know that the bulb type needs to be H11. But what im confused with is what wattage should i get 35 or 55 . Also im planning on getting fogs but i have a 2.5 and the holes on the bottom are covered. Do those just pop out with some force? How did you guys do it? Should i go with OEM fogs or some aftermarket ones? Thanks ahead of time guys

The 35W is likely all you'll need. It'll be considerably brighter than the stock halogens so you should be pretty happy with it. What colour temp are you getting?

As for the fogs, most folks seem to suggest getting the OEM ones as the aftermarket variety seem to be less reliable and don't fit particularly well. The little covers should be able to pop off relatively easy, but you might have to take off the front bumper to get to them properly. Still, it's an easy process and you shouldn't have any trouble with it!

The fog covers and held in by one screw on each cover that you have to access from behind the bumper. You can reach it by taking off the shield under the bumper to avoid removing it. I have installed OEM fogs and wouldn't go any other way, aftermarket ones will never fit correctly. I am a stickler for things being perfect though.

LOLLL welcome dummyinacan and u live in my hood ur like the next town over Thas wassup!

On the Fogs those s***s are expensive im did see them for around 200+ for oem for driver and passenger side only prob is you need to get that harness and factory switch which is around another 40 and then installation sounds like a pain in the a** (from what i heard) so it might just be easier to maybe buy the fogs and have the dealer install them if they can? lemme kno what you do i plann on doing the same once this stupid snow stops fallin in NYC
