SEARCH! Plenty of people have them, they're better than our stock bulbs. A recent thread just opened and you can save 20% on them.

I saw this link which is why I asked

I wanted to get into these bulbs further though than other threads that I have found do. I see that a lot of people are using them with the 35w stock ballasts but when I was reading reviews for the bulbs I saw that people were saying that upgrading to the 55w ballast is a much better option.

Anyone comment on it? Are these just plug and play bulbs?

From what I've read 35w is the right choice, any higher and your heat output increases and you risk melting things inside your headlight.

This. 55w could shorten the life of the bulbs and I'll find a link for you on how they look in ZKW-R lenses.

I don't think they will discount the CBI bulbs. They're barely making any money from it anyways.

I ordered the 3k HID fog kit from their site and called with a question about it and their customer service from my experience was great. I also received the kit extremely fast! I've had no trouble with flickering or anything. I highly recommend TRS over any other brand of HID kit fogs. Sure it's a little bit more money than most, but the bulbs and ballasts that you get are very good quality. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Customer service is great. The CBI's are totally worth the money imo.
