but for an installation of a kit you shouldn't pay more than like 30-40$ its not hard at all to install I'm thinking about ordering a second kit for the fogs and a relay harness, do you guys think a relay harness can connect to both kits? or will I have to buy 2 relays?

...um yeah its hard when done properly.. being that most shops charge 75-90 an hour for labor!....taking off and reseating the fascia alone is 30 45 min ordeal...drilling holes and properly mounting each balast..finding a decent safe ground...then running the wires....safley and neatly securing them...your 30-40 dollar quote is way way way off bro!

i bought a realya for each light...i think there are relays out there that will feed both ....but i wanted to make sure if one went bad i could easily figure out which

it's hella easy! don't take off the front bumper. just take off the tire and then theres a couple clips to take off and 3 screws and then you just pull out the old bulb and hook up the new one with the ballast and everything. me and my friend never installed HIDs before and to do both sides it took less then an hour

i forgot to ask a while back, when i got my HID kit, it came in a Xentec box but it didn't say xentec on the ballast like in the pictures. do any of yours say it on the ballast? now that i think about it, mine looks 100% like this one (except mine doesn't have a sticker on the ballast)

most of these cheapy HID ballasts are made in the same plant, then companies just re-brand them with their own stickers. Im pretty sure mine didnt say Xentec on them as well
