i had them in about a week and a half. Which is good time considering where they came from. The vision is many times better in my car that it was before, so I have no doubt that it will still be better even with the smoked covers.

if not.... I still have my fogs

Keith does that HID kit cause radio interferance? That's one thing I'm afraid of about buying a random eBay kit. Other than that the price is outstanding.

people flash their high beams at me when my fogs are on... I just swerve at them!
The same thing happens to me with my normal lights.
I purchased a kit from American Muscle about 2 weeks ago.

Probably not, HIDs actually use less wattage than halogen lights.
