Eyelids i think people are getting them off of ebay. The concesus here for hid kits would be DDM tuning. And For foglights you can either go the oem route or check on ebay. Ive been looking for fogs also but oem are expensive and i haven't seen a truely good set of fogs on ebay yet. I hope i helped

Ye a lot of people get them without doing any research and seeing how many people have problems with the ballasts. I can personally suggest retrosolutions.com HID kits, never had a single misfire or any other problems, plus awesome light quality.

My wheels are g37 replicas in 18s, called SE14 by sport edition, they're on tirerack. If you want my suggestion, get m45 sport wheels, the 19s, they look sick on the coupe.

didnt someone say they have a lifetime warranty? I had xentec and they were good but they burnt out after a year. after a year I had trouble with 1 side not wanting to fire up all the time so I messed with the wires and accidentally hit the power wire with metal and saw sparks both lights never lit up again lol try to get analog ballast cuz the digital ones dont work with the "auto" function on our lights.

umm digital HIDs in my coupe for 2 years now, auto has always worked for me. I'm telling you get quality brand and don't worry about nonsense

blackmobile, as far as DDM, a quick search will definetely show u problems that people had, if not NICO then google it. I do remember not too long ago someone posted having issues with DDM.

Here's the thing about DDMs "warranty" they want u to send the ballast to them before you get a replacement, so you gotta take off your bumper everytime ur ballast burns out and stuff... which will happen. Xentec, same s*** as DDM
