I like the HID's cost an extra 500 or so, when i ordered the car after the 07 got totaled(got rear ended) anyway there great dont plan on rolling with the HId's and center fogs casue it dont look to well unless i replaced my center fogs with Hid's. ill get some pics with the lights on tonight. weather stinks need to get some good pics n update the sig.

Hey guys--perfect timing! I just got my HIDs installed last night. Here are some pictures I hope you find helpful. Driving home there is a noticeable difference. It is definitely worth the $500. I did both the headlights and fogs. The kit is the whole housing, not just the cheap bulbs you find on ebay.

Side view:

Funny thing it is the same set-up with the ballasts as the other kits. If you put them in the headlight it will still work fine. The foglights are way 2 bright because they dont have a reflector in the middle unlike the headlights.

What kit is that? Ford or Saleen?
Neither, it is an aftermarket HID kit
Do you have any pics with the lights off (to show the housing better)
can you name the vendor/seller
+1 A closup of the housing would be nice. Just curious how this housing compares to the stock housing. Also, where you bought them from.

The factory D3R are reflector based mercury-free HID capsules with 2800 lumens versus the 3200 lumens from a projector shielded capsule.

Please don't..........those stupid lights blind the guy coming at you. Hopefully they won't swerve into your lane and kill you. I drive a truck and I think they are incredibly dangerous to everybody. Its obviously your decision though

Default FOG LIGHT BULBS

What aftermarket fog light bulbs will closely match the stock HID headlights on a 2008 . I believe the stock HID'S are 4300k . Is that correct?
