Well I know some won't agree but I ended up going 35 watt all around. Got both sets shipped from a guy on eBay with a discount for a total of 76 bucks. Has great feedback and answered my emails really quick. Also he seemed to have a good bit of return customers too. We will c. I'll review them later

I can practically drive down the street with just my fogs at night. Not really, but if i had to i could. With halogen bulbs i was never able to do that. The HID's in the fogs light up spots that you have never seen lit up before. When i drive, sometimes ill flip my fogs off and its a huge difference. One of those things you can't knock until you've tried it.

Get headlights AND fogs!

My 03 cobra foglights are brighter than my actual headlights. Turning on my headlights doesnt even help anymore. lol but yea, i cant wait for HID heads/fogs. But man, i dont know about the rest of you but i like just running around with the driving lights and fogs on. Looks badass coming down the road.

I'm actually about to put my order in with ddm for a 6k kit, is anyone running a relay harness with their hid's. Don't know if it's worth buying or not so i thought i'd find out from anyone that runs hid's here. Also, where is the best place to mount the ballasts?

I mounted my ballasts to my front bumper support frame

There are spots in your engine to do it though. One can be down by the battery on the side so you cant see it, but the other one will show if you decide to mount it in the engine bay
