Hey all, I was finally able to get some time to be able to install my all the parts for my fog lights and HIDs.

But it has come down to it being more trouble than a quick plug and play.

the fog lights I bought are spyder projector halo fog lights from autoanything.com I can install those in fine with the original halogen bulbs they have,
but when I swap out the bulb with the HID's, they end up sticking too far inward. thus causing it to bump and grind into the water reservoir (passenger side).

Has anyone run into this sort of problem when doing this? If so, What was your solution?

can you ask him where he got those mini bulbs? I guess I should add in that this is the ddmtuning kit if that makes any difference.

sorry no pics, space was too tight to get a clear enough picture. I'll try to get a picture later though.

i think he just searched on ebay and bought a set. DDMs lights are good, with ebay its kind of a gamble..performance wise.
