Get it somewhere else...Get a new HID kit from a site like ddmtuning or one of the azine vendors...Way cheaper than oem and will work the same.

you're wasting too much money. with that money, i could've done alot to fix my tl up.

for hid bulbs and ballast, i always go to ddmtuning. hid kit is only $42~ shipped for me. but i'm lucky cause they're locally stationed in socal so i just go in, order, pickup the same day.

bulb replacements in your case for your low beams are only $12 for a pair. i just bought 5k's for my low beams and love them. HID kits are typically all the same. why spend more? keep in mind, ddmtuning offers lifetime warranties on their hid kits!

goo steelers lol jp. i was thinking of getting those kits but i didnt know to install them or if they were like oem or whatever something kinda detured me away from getting an aftermarket kit? i guess i was just kinda scared and wanted it fix the right way. me and my friend went ahead and fixed it tho so it was aiite i learned how the hid's worked and stuff
