the instructions posted on here are a little different as they had changed the kits. One ballast to one relay and connect to the +ve of the battery. There is only one way of connecting the ballast/relay together. Just do that for both sides.

You'll absolutely love the XD kit.

in english - what he is saying is the instructions posted (and most often referenced here) are for the older design of the kits. The newer design has 2 separate ballasts, 2 relays, 2 ignitors and 2 positive leads to connect to the battery. Install is very easy and you'll be very pleased w/ the kit. I've had mine in for almost 6 months and I love it.

K-Bud,

I 'pulled the trigger' twice! I ordered the 4300K for the headlights and 3000K for the fogs. I can't wait to see how it's going to look. I'll see if I can post some pictures.

Actually, when you put in a CL coupon, you get $25.00 off the price, so the H11 kit will run you $200 ($225 regular), but the H3 kit will run you $225 ($250 regular).

Found this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ighlight=3000K showing 3000K Fog Kit. Looks good, but got me thinking that the light pattern might be distracting, so decided to change to 4300K for the fogs.
