The fog light blubs were meant to be Arctic Blue (as stated in the box made by some company called MAX) but apparently not. They look pretty clear w/ a tiny blue to me. Hence, the 3 color. I'm just gonna wear the fog lights a little more than swap them for another set of crystal blues to match the headlights. So your right Sav, it would look nicer if they match up a little. BTW Speed, the HID kit is made by HIDynamics. Also I'm not quite sure what you meant by cut inside-out. Do you mean pics taken inside of the hood to show the installation of the kit?

I believe SAV meant take a picture of the headlights aimed at a wall from the driver's seat.
Loftus, did you purchase the kit with a seperate igniter, or the one with igniter built into ballast?

How are the HIDs from HIDynamics? Do they include a grommet for the wires?

The HIDynamics are pretty good. They seem like a high quality lights and do include the grommet and includes a seperate igniter from the ballast. Those are better right, Onihc? And OK Speed, I'll take couple of those pics tomorrow.

Loftus, the lights look awesome. I have the same color car like yours and gonna do mine the same way too. I'm thinking of installing 9006 PIAA Xtreme cool blue lights for the fogs.

Thanks Dnmukhra. It actually looks much better in person because the running lights look more luxury purple/blue and spans out. Rather than concentrated on top as depicted on the pic. Also good choice on the Fog light bulbs.

BTW Speed, you can get good deals on Ebay (where I got mines) for HIDs or just called around your local shops and compare prices. Also remember to ask them how much do they charge just for installation in case you do decide to get it online.

I don't know? Iam still in the market for HID kits. I did see that HIDynamics also carry ballasts with built in igniters. Does anyone know if there is a benefit if the igniter is built into the ballasts? As for HIDynamics, I know a shop that offers full exchange warranty, with labor, for this product for 3 years. You must have them install it though.
thanks

The new IS's does't come with HID as standard. You would need to get Sports P or Luxury P to also get HIDs. So by you getting a base IS or a Premium Package 250/350, you get the good-old yellow bulbs.

Also, the HID i got, does come seperate (ballast and ignitior). But hey, 3 yrs warranty is good as long as they will be there to honor it 3 yrs from now or it won't just break right after the warrany period.
