Search for it and you will find may topics. I believe Shyne has the HID fog kit...which will run you the same price for buying a reg. HID kit ($1k+).

hey -

thanks for the posts ... yeah ive been reading about these kits running from about 250 to 600 bucks ... but most companies that are trying to sell the kits are showing the lights in infiniti i30's or lexus is300's both cars that come with hid's already ..

so i wanted to know if someone already had them with pics and if they have a certain brand to refer or not ...

thanks again!

I got them...installation was cake with the Directions other members have posted. Kit should cost you about 450 to 485. Your looking for the HID 9006 HID Kit. Price depends on the color temperature u are looking for. Right now you have 4100K in your head lights ... so if you want to match that.. price is a little cheaper for the kit. The way most people do them is they change their low beam set up to 6000K and then match the fogs to 6000K as well... thas what I did..and it looks more cleaner.

Whatever you do.. dont mismatch the Kelvin temperatures... becuase the 6000K will make all Tempteratures below it look Halogen like eventhough its HID. So make sure match them perfectly. My advice.

NYDESI -

thanks. so you upgraded your stock headlights to 6000K and bought a kit to convert your foglights to 6000K HID? Did you just buy new bulbs for the headlights? What bulbs did you get, how much did you pay? Got any pics? Thanks

6000k is what the stock ballast supports up to so you save a few bucks by not having to upgrade the low beam ballasts for 8000ks as well.
