I ask because I have a home made harness since my car is a v6 without a pony package. Does this kit go between the existing plug(to the original lights) and the HID bulbs? If so I'll jump on this deal soon.

If you have the fog lights in your grill, its plug and play, no messing around.

Here's your pic with the lights on. The new HID's are a little blue compaired to the OEM HID's. But, they are f%^&&#$ BRIGHT! I like it! Night driving is going to be great... Not that I do much of it..

Glad you figured that crap out! I know it's supposed to be simple but not with the Retro Solutions kit...literally no directions to where ANYTHING goes...if you went with them and figured it out please take some pics and show me where all the wires go because i'm freakin' lost and frusterated!

Wow, Pascal I hadn't seen old pics.

Those lights looks great, OP very bright.
Makes me want HIDs. Lol

Nope, I thought they were way to expensive. I got these;

This is the grill I got, came with the extension wires which worked out great.

See, that's exactly what I need because I leave for work before 6am and its pitch black. And because of the new cowl and a more limited line of sight, it makes it hard to spot those armadillos haha. I don't want blue lights, but those white lights are great and look like they'll illuminate the road quite well! Yet another purchase to make haha.
