Guys....btw.....i finally had time to clean up the install. I went to Home Depot and bought wire protectors to match the ones in the car. Looks like stock now cuz I covered all the wires up from the heat, etc....especially the wires in front of the radiator. Im happy with the outcome cuz at first glance....it doesnt look like aftermarket.

Hey PHML -- I've noticed that when I first got my kit it seemed so blueish/purple and now it seems just white w/ a hint of purple at night. Am I just so used to the color?

Yah....I know what you mean....mines too. Its not sooooo bluish/purple anymore. From a distance....its totally white.....but when you get close to the housing....you can see the faint blue/purple color. I guess the bulb finally settled down a bit.....thats what they say about HID....it takes about a severa hours for it to settle down. Im still happy with it.

Yeah, it's 5800K. Not some crazy 7000K-12000K HID. 5000K is sunlight so it's not THAT blue/pruple. I think some of it has to do with your eyes adjusting to it. When HIDs first came out I thought they were sooo blue. But now they look yellow next to my car on the freeway 
. If you've seen the new 7-Series, this bulb is close to that purple color you see from afar.

Yo Brendan-
The two fuses you talking about is in the fuse box (long black retangle shaped) in front of the battery. It should be side-by-side (blue) 15 Amps.

The only one I could find before was the small rectangle box next to that with the yellow fuse.

When you tried to turn them on did you hear a pop? When I had my HID kit in my car the way the connectors went togethor they werent in series, in other words the black wire and the red wire from the kit did not match up to the connector from the headlight, it was backwards. So I had to flip the connector plug over and tape it in place. Check it out and see if the black and red wires are backwards. If not then I dont know what to suggest
