I searched but couldn't find a DIY on this. I've been thinking about upgrading my fogs to xenons and not sure what I might be up against here. What kinda bulbs should I get? Will 5000k match the factory headlight bulbs? I did read that some people had to replace the stock wiring harness, what does this involve and is it necessary? Anything else I should know before I tackle this? Thanks in advance!

You need:

1. H8 HID kit with ballasts. Get the raptor kit from ddmtuning. 6000k will match factory bulbs.
2. Wired relay from ebay.

Hook those up and you're done.

Is that what you're talking about?

I'm thinking that I will go with the 55w option, opinions?

Thanks.

55w will burn your fog harness. Get 35w only for the fogs.

And yes that's a relay. It wires the fogs directly to the battery so that you won't blow your fuses. It looks difficult to figure out, but trust me it isn't. I'm no electrician and I set mine up in about an hour, including taking on/off the front bumper.

so the 35w option won't burn the housing?

Nope. I've got it and use it whenever my headlights are on. My housing is still as good as new.

is the raptor 6000k give out the ouput of 4300k color then?

I thought the stock output was 4300, not 6000k. In the beginning I had stock low beams with 6000k fogs, and they make the low beams look yellow.

+1 on DDM tuning Raptor kits, surprisingly good quality. I have 6000k from DDM in my fogs and they don't match. I had planned on changing to a lower temp but haven't got around to it....500k should be pretty close match I'm assuming.

Sounds like I might be ordering 5000k...

The DDM kits, at least with our cars, are a rated a little too high. They're 8000k kit looks like 6000k.

Those are 5000k, almost a perfect match...

After a few days of looking at the color diff I think 4000k would be a better match.
