Welcome to CL!

Xenon Depot is a site sponsor and definitely the way to go... xenondepot.com
I got my HID fogs there and they are a great outfit. Use their application guide to get the right fitment.

Also, you can search and PM the CL user name XenonDepot and talk directly to Steve, he was a tremendous help.

Good luck and look forward to seeing some mods!

I8ABMR,
I know for our 07 GS it is the 9006 fitment. I went with 6500k kit bc I changed my OEM low beams to 6000k so this was a match. Here is a link that I was sent from Steve @ XenonDepot.

Also, there was a CL group buy available on these kits, I think it was $25 off. Not sure if it is still going or not.

^^^ I believe stock is 4600K or something like that. I bought a cheap HID kit for my fog lights from ebay. So far no problems.

supposedly the Philips Xen-Eco D4S bulbs are rated at 4800k.. but it looks just like 4300k on any other stock HID

8000k has never been legal nor will it ever be put on stock vehicles..

only things that are DOT approved are the ones installed directly from factories, ALL aftermarket kits including philips are considered non-legal on the roads.

but then again, unless you run stupid colors like 10000k+ or poorly aimed lights, i seriously doubt cops will pull you over for them.

As long as your lights are not blue and doesnt blind anybody, most cops will leave you alone.
