As long as the bulb adapters are H11 you're golden...

Though plug and play for fog lights.. its still better to take off the bumper to fit the ballast at the right spot..

I got mine from DDMtuning.com but there are plenty of sites out there to order from. Just make sure it's a dependable site/seller and you get the H11 HID kit and you'll be fine.

Depends on what look you want as well. I got the 3000K kit on my ABP but some ppl like to match the stock HID bulbs which are 4300K. Doing this is a bit more difficult then you would believe since the color output will still change a bit since manufacturers don't all have the same exact color...kinda like paint, it can be close but not perfect. Your best bet if you wanna match is to get both the same temperature bulb at the same time from the same seller.

Yea I have pics and everything on my laptop at home which I can upload tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance. One thing to note is that their connection is backwards so one of the connectors you have to flip around for it to work, took me forever to figure that out but it's easy. Everything is really plug and play other than that and takes about 15 mins total to do everything from removing the bumper, cleaning, install and putting it back together. The time will depend on how familiar you are with removing your bumper and what not though.

Important thing to note is that I removed my resonator (just like in the above linked instructions author did for his CAI) so there won't be that easy a placement for the driver side ballast if your resonator is still there. I mounted the passenger ballast between the windshield washer reservoir on the inside, I have a pic of it. I decided not to drill for my ballasts and used the supplied double sided sticky 3M pads included by DDM, they're very strong and hold the almost weightless ballasts with no problem. If you go my route you will want to wash up that area you're placing it onto and be sure to wipe it down with alcohol/witch hazel after washing just to be sure the pads stick on there nice.
