Check out the sponsor spotlight thread. I doubt anyone will give you a better price and service than our sponsors.

I have a set in my wifes car and they've worked fine. Only been in for a few weeks and the only issue I have with them is the color is not quite 6000k, IMO.

If you are doing a retrofit then I would always suggest using relays.

Retrofit as in putting HID's in a non-HID location.

6000k's should look like these:



The above are 6000k headlights and 6000k foglights

I would. In fact, I need to put one of the fogs I have now due to the ballasts not powering up properly off the factory lines.

The only difference in the slim kit is that it's easier to hide. It doesn't operate any differently. They're popular on motorcycles.

the only thing i recommend with HID kits is dont go with the single beam go with the bi-xenon hi/low cause then your not blinding people as bad because the single are just like having you hi beams on all the time

another thing to consider is if your county/state/province requires you to have both low and high beams. our county and state are very strict about having 'em both when one takes their car in for a safety inspection.

i didn't know there was a combo bulb available for HID conversions, def good to know!
