looks great, and those new ballast are awesome because they are so slim, where did your installer actually mount the ballasts?

They're much thinner than the old ones. Both ballasts were mounted near the bottom. Once the car was jacked up, they unscrewed and removed the plastic splash guard under the front of the car, and unscrewed a second layer of plastic to access the fog lights. The ballasts were mounted on either side of the inner wall. There's plenty of room to mount them since they're so slim. They told me that water wouldn't be able to get to them there so I hope he's right.

Kit was actually $475 with the coupon code, CLGB06. Shipping is another $25, so it's basically free shipping. Installation costed $85, which I think I could've gotten for cheaper but it was late and I just wanted to get it done.

The left fog light points lower than the right one so I'm going to bring it back and see if they can adjust it unless someone knows how to do it. Is there some kind of screw that adjusts the fog light aim?

If you're going with the 6000k fogs, then it'll look much brighter/whiter than your stock headlights.

Headlights are 9005 bulbs.

SGT, You went directly opposite of me... I went w/ the 5000K Fogs and Yellow Ion Crystal Driving Lights....

PLEASE HELP!!!!, Both SGT and I would greatly appreciate any recomendations as to how to re-aim our fogs... one is kicking up more than the other... hence, we get the "semi-winking" effect....

Ooh, I like the smoke in your pic, Dave. Someone on the 2IS forum said there should be an adjustment screw behind the fog lights. Can you confirm if you're not too busy?
