These are the one's i bought. http://www.amazon.com/ZTEC-HID-Xenon...9666102&sr=8-6
Decided to buy the cheap ones for the fogs since i have a $400 set of ASM's in the heads. The ZTEC's got really good reviews for being so cheap. But i'll post pics up when i have them installed. They should be here tomorrow and i'll do the install as soon as the ups truck drops them off.

I tend to agree.... big trucks that throw HID lights into reflector housings tend to blind alot of oncoming traffic.

If you really want HIDs, projector retrofitting is the way to go.

Alright guys i won't have these up tomorrow. Courtesy of this [IMG][/IMG] I was a dumb *** and put 100w bulbs in my fogs they melted in less than a week. I did however already order replacements http://www.amazon.com/2005-2008-2006.../dp/B0023VERS0 You win some you lose some. I suppose. But then again i may install the hid's with the melted fogs just for giggles to get an idea of what to expect.

A lot. I think NCSU says the cost in his thread
I'm on the list to have lordfeyr paint headlights for me and he said he could leave them open for me to retrofit my headlights with these http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/ser...ETROFIT/Detail
I see the price is 200 now, I think it was around 220 not long ago. Plus there's a Facebook fan code for 15% off

I have 35w in the fogs and 55w in the heads. Just got done getting the fogs all wired up and they look good IMO. Pictures to come tonight.
