Yes, I have hte XenonDepot 6k kit installed in my fogs. I wouldn't go back to where they said it's not possible. What was there reason?

The install process is the same as doing headlights...

yeah im deff not going back there, long story. The reason he gave me was that the wires werent long enough to reach to the battery, to which i told him that he must have mounted them wrong. He blew up and just gave me my money back because he took it personal that he messed up. Im not sure what i should do now, anyone have any suggestion on a non-hid light that i can put in my fog that would closely match my 6500k lowers and highs? O yes, i did say highs by the way, he put the 9006 fogs in the 9005 high beams randering them useless, thats life, hes a *****. But if i ever see him on the road i can now blind him with my highs.

The shop by the way was Sea Spray in hollywood florida, under no circumstances should you ever leave your car with these people.

He blamed his **** up on me and xenondepot even though i got the right stuff.

Well you shouldn't really flick the HIDs. HIDs are not meant to be flicked like that like non-HID bulbs. That's why OEM HID high beams use some sort of shield to divert the light higher.

Why did you let him install the HIDs in your high beams? Thats pretty pointless unless you actually use your high beams often.

dude i never let him, he ****ed up big time then exploded on me, even though hes a dumb ***, and was like cursing and told me to take my money and leave. i dont care bout the highs i guess since he installed the stuff for free, im just gonna match blubs in the fogs with them, any suggestions.

If you push the lever forward, the high's will stay on.

I installed the Xtec HIDs on my fogs and the advantage of it was that not only are they guaranteed for life, but also you don't need to run wires to the battery, oh and they were dirt cheap too!!
