Well, got all my stuff in and went ahead and upgraded this past Sunday. This is NOT a how-to. Special thanks to Scott, our Maxima Moderator (maxhopper), for his help....

Upgraded factory 4300K HID to 6000k, upgraded factory H1 halogen fog lights to 6000k HID and replaced the factory running light to a new LED.

First, here's the front looking like a stripper on a Friday night:

Here's Scott trying to put in a bulb:

Here are the two locations I mounted the ballasts. Passenger side was tie-wrapped while the drivers took two screws through the plastic divider:

Sorry for the crappy pix but here is a post-install picture showing the headlights and new LED running light:

Here is the lights with the fogs on:

I had a set of angle eyes to install and after pulling the headlight out decided I was not going to try and crack them open. This was a pain in the butt.

Love it. I see the road much better with 6000k than the factory 4300k.

Is it hard to change the bulbs?

I am looking to change my bulbs to 10000k (Deep Blue). Is it pain in the *** to change the bulbs?
