I was reading that phillips and hella make a good combo, how exactly does it work? when I went onto the phillips website they only have either hi or lo hid kits. Are there any good brands for under 200 bucks?

I haven't done this conversion on my Versa yet, but I have bought almost a dozen kits from http://www.vvme.com for various motorcycles either I or my wife are riding. The quality of the kits has always been more than adequate, and to date I have not had any issues with any of the kits. I put a set in one of my motorcycles last year and it has more than 35,000 miles on it now with no problems at all.

You are looking for the STANDARD H4-3(9003) BI-XENON HID KIT. These have a small electromagnetic base that moves the light source to simulate the double filament function normally found in an H4 bulb.

When choosing a color temperature, do not follow the standard US of A rule of "bigger is better". The 4300K light color is the whitest light, and provides the greatest number of lumens. The higher you go, the lower the amount of lumens you will get. The 3000K color temperature is more of a fog color.

Oftopic. So i was watching how to install HIDs on that website and i saw that all you need to conect from the factory wiring to the hids is one relay you do nothave to connect them both so with that said something poped up to my head so can i conect fog lights and when it comes to connect to the factory just conect it to the other one thts left and that will shortcut the process of me geting a whole wiring harness for fog lights if this was posible.
