Free Silverstar fog lights!!!
I have been going to Autozone every week or two to see when they will get in the new Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. I was driving by one, and decided on a whim to stop in. Good news - they-re in! They had two 9005's (high beam), and two 9006's (fog lights), but the 9006's had been opened and were apparently returns.
The manager was checking me out, and asked why I didn't get some unopened ones. Well, there weren't any... He said that since he couldn't be sure if they would work or not, he would mark them down to $0 and just GIVE THEM TO ME (that's about a $55 gift)!
I got home, installed them (cleaned the 9006's thoroughly first) and they work great! I haven't really let the HID's warm up enough to see if they really match (waiting til dark). The high beams seem to match better than the fog lights - but they're pretty close.
I'll tell you more about how they match later on... (don't have a digicam, sorry. We have one I could borrow at work, but I won't be going back there until Monday. If people really want pics, they'll have to wait 'til then.)
The Autozone on Conway road in Orlando and their Customer Service Manager ROCK! Autozone's got all my business now!
By the way, the wattage on their web site (and even the packaging) are wrong. The wattage written on the bulbs themselves was identical to the OEM bulbs.

Very easy. There's a 10mm mounting bolt that you have to remove. It's accessed through a hole on the underside of the bumber. Then, just squeeze your hand up there and push the light out of it's mount. That's it!
