Goon, are you planning on running them without a projector retrofit? I'm just wondering how that will look. When I was down in Florida last week it seemed like every other car had an HID kit and a lot of them looked like crap with glare and whatnot. :hs:

One thing to note, I bought 2 H4 kits from them and they both included glare-shields.

Nice. What color temp and wattage did you go with? I'm debating on whether or not to go with the slim kit for the fogs.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this particular brand's color selection. I know most vary widely in comparison to actual light color temperature.

3000K 35watt. I can't find the thread I was gonna link it, but there is a 2010 3 that tried the 55watt in the foglights and melted the housing

I didn't go with the slims because there is infinite room behind the bumper to mount them.
