hey i am in the market to buy HID's but i was curious of where everyone got theirs. I know some got it from ebay and some got it from a website. So if you could please leave me the name of the seller on ebay that you got them from, or if you used a website leave the website. Thanks a lot.

I have the slims... they're awesome. But like other people... if you have them on AUTO... only the driver side will light up. You need to turn it off and turn it on again. Not a big deal to me, I just keep the lights in the OFF position all the time and when it's dark enough I just switch it to AUTO... and it works perfectly.

Dr. Feelgood has the old, big fat ballasts and he says he has no problems like that whatsoever.

I believe they are H11 just like the sedan. I have slim ballasts for the fogs and the regular fat ones for the lows and the fat ones always fire up on AUTO, the slim only one or in some cases none.

I have an '08 coupe and got mine from Xenongate for $99 shipped. It was truly plug and play with no issues-I used the write up in this section and didn't remove the tires. Only problem I have now is the CEL which I think is more from the intake then the HID's...
