I have Xenon Depot Xtreme HID kit for the lowbeams and fogs. They work great. Color Temp is 4300k. If you are going to do your Fogs too, here is a guide to take off your front bumper: http://www.projectgs.com/diy/Exterio...oval/index.htm. I wish I had this before doing mine!

LOL! I get that in 430 with the HID housings... They high beam, they get what they asked for, another set of bright 4300K lights out of the highbeam housing at them.

Are you planning to put the other kit in your fogs? If so, beware. The heat in the fogs do not have room to dissipate quick enough....so it may possibly "blow up" in there.

I see a lot of peopel have HIDs in their fogs!!! so how can i get away from this problem? areyou sure it makes a lot of heat to blow the bulbs inside? i dont wanna have to change my bulbs every week!
