If I were you Id buy OEM ballast from TRS. They use AMP connectors so you can use any H11 "kit" bulbs. The ballasts are the same ballast used in Lexus and Toyota so you know theyre quality.

If you email Matt directly he'll give you a coupon code to use on his site.

Me personally, I buy the $60 kits from HIDextra (when they're on sale for $30) and get extra ballasts/bulbs. Once you get working ballasts you can run the cheap kits for a couple years before having to replace something or losing any of the quality of light.

HID Headlights - GX470
I have used the Silverstar bulbs and they seem a bit whiter than the originals. However I just installed a Kensun H11 HID Xenon conversion kit that cost $69.95 on Amazon. I had no problem with the installation though I did take the battery hold down off and slid the battery back about 2 inches to make more room. I never had to disconnect the batter.
The result is fantastic and like noght and day compared to the Silver Stars. These things are nearly a require safety item in my opinion.

Do the HID kits come with directions for our application or is it just a generic how to? I'm Definitely interested, just not very comfortable doing electrical work.

If you decide to get it try to find a kit with relay harness (some just 'plug & play' ) which make the kit last longer.some company will send direction with the kit , mine is over email. good luck with your choice!

Hey Boss--Go with Steve's kit (Xenon depot) His come with the relay harness and kits are Top notch you wont be disappointed at all. SIMPLE plug and play, Its truly that easy. Couple connectors and hook up the ground wires to a place under your hood and Hot wire to the battery terminal

I just installed the xenon depot kit and it was easy. It's just a matter of finding a place to put the parts. I just set the kit in place and made sure the lights worked and then started locking down the components. I am very happy with the lights. Mike
