the kits plug right in and the guy that i went threw i payed 180$ for my set for headlights and 180$ for foglights and they came with a special wire harness so they get the same amount off the battery
i have the 8K for both headlights and fogs and they look good. i have some pics ill try to put them up if i can find them.

the really blue one is when they warm up from being turned on and they do have a blue tint to them but i could not get my camera to get it
make sure there amed down and i passed inspection here in MASS cause mine has highbeam also so the guy was like well there aimed right and has highbeam so you are good and he said that he was going to get some for his truck also lol\
you will love the light deff with the $ compared to spending it on silverstars. and they do have kits for 99$ to but the cheaper the kit the more interferience threw your radio you will get. thats why i bought special balasts for that problem
THE 2 BOTTOM PICS ARE COMPARISON BETWEEN SILVERSTARS AND HID 8k's

you do realize 10k hids isn't as bright as 4300k or even 6k...right?

so all u do is pick the bulb color, and pick the bulb # that you are going to be replacing with the hid's
the projectors make the glare of the hid have a cut off for light quality but you do not need the projector housing u can USE YOUR EXISTING HOUSING!! BEING A 9007 FOR ME.

i baught the kit from a guy on ebay.
his ebay account name is kassabian9898 i sent him a message that some people were interested in the Kits and maybe the Static interferance kit. i baught them for 180$ and i have no static. the cheeper 99$ pair i cant listen to my radio at all not even make out a word. especiay if you have an aftermarket headunit i would hightly reccomend it.
he also has a 2 year warrenty and is very friendly and helpfull.
just tell him that Nick/fordracer182 told you abut him so he can tell you what he has for you.

hids in a factory housing will cause excessive glare to those on the other end of the light. they will be a lil bright in output terms just because they do push more "power". but the higher you go in the kelvin scale, you less output you get, and the more color you get. yea can get kits with built in shields on the bulbs to help reduce the glare, but your still going to get it if you dont use a projector housing. they will give a cut off line in which it doesnt allow the light to get high enough to distract oncoming drivers. also the glass on the projector helps light output and concentration.
