I will never drive without them again, the difference is AMAZING!!!! You can't tell by the pics but compare the headlights to the foglights.....the fogs are the same stock bulb that was in the headlights.

the bulbs,transformer and igniter was $140. Only problem I had was that the bulb was an h13 but wouldn't fit in the socket of the headlamp. I had to take a dremel and grind the plastic base of the light where it goes into the headlamp socket. 20 minute install ended up taking over 2 hours because of this, the notches matched the keyway in the headlamp housing but the outside diameter of the bulb base where the tabs are was just too damn big.... I should of sent them back but I am very impatiant

nah, HID's actually run cooler from what I have read. They are only a 35 watt bulb.

Thanks Dennis, I just hope when I put the HID's in the foglights that they fit a little better...I don't ever want to go through that crap again

Importkiller those lites look awesome. Got a couple of questions for you as I just bought a set myself. I was reading the instructions last nite and it says that you lose the autolite sensor function. Is that correct? Also does the system shutdown if you hit the highbeams given that they are no longer there?

I did not lose the auto headlight function, I don't see how the HID kit could cause that as all the auto system is is the sensor telling the bcm to send power to the headlight...I don't think it matters what kind of headlight you have.

As far as teh high beam, yes when you hit high beam all lights shut off.
