Just installed my 3k HID fog lights!

This took forever to do but it's worth it. I bought them off eBay for $71 bucks.

Awesome job.
Is that a DDM HID kit?

You paid too much. Name brand kits (DDM/VLEDS/etc) cost $40-60 and come with a reliable warranty.

Looks good! I've been debating about getting some HIDs for mine. I just have yellow tint film on mine for now. I'm concerned about the glare from putting HIDs in a halogen housing.

That and a camera's white balance can affect everything.

Camera or not, if you look directly at the fogs, they'll turn out white.

I've seen this effect too many times on Azine =(

Must be nice dude. I ordered mine back in April and got them at school, one bulb was burned out, so i sent it back and they sent me a new one but the connection on it was wrong and im still waiting for yet another replacement. I love the way the one looks on the ground though
