Plug and play - mount some ballast boxes & hook up power. No splicing - completely removeable back to stock in no time.

No problem running more than one set (I think our fogs are 9006 - don't quote me). The only problem I see is room to mount ballast boxes with this system.

Another guy posted he just plugged right in to stock. I don't see how this works when HID's use 35w instead of 55w.

I've heard that the HID retrofit kits that use the original lamp housing don't have a very good beam on the road, and cause a lot of glare. Can you guys with these kits comment on this? Is the lighting a big improvement over stock bulbs? I am specifically looking for a beam that carries out further, especially on high beam.
Thanks

mine light up the land pretty good. compared to the OEM bulbs, there is NO comparison. I don't have pics right now but am trying. I have been slammed with work and school so i have not had time to shoot some pics but plan on it very soon. I have not gotten flashed by oncoming drivers yet and don't notice any glare. the white lines are actually visible now and the road signs are very bright now.

Did you have to use a resistor or was it plug/play for your '04?
You dont have to use a resistor if you get the Bi-xenon kit right?


Im thinking of getting the bi-xenon kit (6k) for my '05

Ordered a set of Bi-Xenon 6K and fogs from Xenongate.com on Tuesday evening and they hit my porch this morning. I wont be putting them in until tomorrow, but for the price how can you go wrong!!!

To the OP....do you have the notorious "LAMP OUT" light, or flickering problems??? I had a set on my '04 and had nothing but problems with lights flickerong and lamp out messages....
