to get HID lights like the high end cars have, you will need a full HID-Xenon conversion kit. Some sell regular bulbs but they are just painted halogens and are not bright at all. Personally I went with 8000k, it has alot of blue that is noticeable yet is bright enough for me. 6000k is also good as its brighter then 8000k yet less blueish. So it all depends on what you prefer.

As for installation it took me about 1 and half hour (because I was stupid :grin: ), the hardest part was the drilling and getting the stock bulb out as there wasnt enough room. But everyone on the forum helped me alot and once you have HID's you never go back :beer:

*btw you bulb size is H7 for low beams

i went with an 8000k kit (ice blue) that i got off of ebay for $70 and have had no problem with them. once you get hids youll never go back to regular bulbs

the install took me bout 10 mintues plug and play hid kit.

word of advise put the ballast in between the fender and fender support so i wont be affected by the heat of the engine and burn out.
