Default HID low beam & fog

Just installed HID low beam and fog. Took my friend and I 5 hours from start to end and occasional pizza breaks. It looks very nice and matches very well with the LED parking light.

Will post some pic tomorrow once I get it off the camera.

maybe not 5. took 2 trips to the store because the hole saw was too small. Maybe 3 hours for the actual install?

Impressive, for me, removing the bumper for the first time was a pain. What brand HID did you get.

I got the Volt Kit from xenondepot.com and instead of removing the bumper, I just went underneath it.
