Finally got the Xenon Depot HID lows installed
After having them delivered to me in Sept, I finally got around to installing them yesterday. I have the fogs left to do, but might wait until warmer weather. It was tough working in cold weather with a wind blowing. Installation took approx 45 min. Overall I'm very happy with the product and I can't wait until I install my 5k fogs. Plus looking into replacing the DRLs now.
First of all, the kit was delivered quite quickly to me. They sent it by Canada Post Parcel, which I had an issue with Canada Post. Canada Post decided in all their wisdom to leave my package outside, so anyone opening my storm door would be able to steal it. Normally they take it to the local depot.
I spoke to Steve on the phone and he was quite knowledgeable. He even fixed my order and added my discount codes so I saved money.
The kit itself is fairly easy to put together. Comes with gloves, all the parts and an instruction booklet. I also used their installation video posted on youtube for reference. Most people should have all the tools you need. Drill plus bit (i used a step bit), wrench set, screw driver. If you want your wires to be neat and tidy, you can also buy more zip ties, perhaps the 4" ones or you can buy those wire tubes.
Here are a few pics I snapped tonight in the windy wet weather of the 5k's. I had the fogs on as a comparison. The fogs are the PIAA Extreme white plus 4000k. Sorry no pics of the engine compartment and where I tucked the wires. Too damn cold and wanted to finish asap.

Thanks guys!
Passenger side underneath the intake box. After taking the box out, there was a metal part, guessing the frame? Driver side was against the larger of the black plastic casings.
Might be the conditions I took them in. Last pic had some glare.
