Default FOX HIDs?

Does anyone use these in their fox? my headlights suck and i cant see anything. (typical fox lights) lol

anyways i have found a few kits :

one on american muscle
http://www.americanmuscle.com/hid-du...-kit-9004.html

and one on TopHIDKits
http://www.tophidkits.com/90hilowhidki.html

and one on buyhidkits.com
http://www.buyhidkits.com/90hilowhidki.html

im assuming the last 2 are the same company?

both kits come with the same brand bulbs

i was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this kit?

also id like to run them in the fog lights too. has anyone done this with the fox fogs? ive seen it done with the sn-95 fogs

i kno the headlights are series 9004
but what are the fogs?

also i cant decide between 4300k or 6000k

i had 10K on my civic slammed i just sold it. I really dont like how they look on foxes a fresh set of headlights in a fox look sick at night no need for HID's save them for the imports.

I've seen them on foxes and didnt like them at all.

hmm well the TopHIDKits one i can get with a lifetime warranty (ballasts and bulbs) for $88.. i kno its the budget kit but it is 9004 high/low. but they only have 4300k and 6000k. but the 5000k looks the best..

while the more expensive kits only have a 1-2 year warranty

what do you guys think? blue may look a little too ricey on the older fox. not so much on the sn-95 and up years.

do you honestly think there is much of a difference between the 4300k and 5000k?

and has anyone had any success with the H3 bulbs in the fog lights? on a focus forum that popped up when i was google searching the H3C is the HID bulb that is the halogen H3 equivalent, but fails in a short time. but they said they fit the H3 HID in but it was tight... just currious if any of you tried this?
