Me and my friend were working on it. I got it from him since he sells HID. If you are interested I can hook u one up.

It is kinda interesting to find a place to mount a ballasts so we ended up mounting on the aluminum impact bar. Obviously u need to remove the bumper before doing that. But you cant see the ballast after putting back the bumper.

I have been looking to swap out the fogs on my RX, but didn't realize you HAVE to drop the bumper in order to do so.

Has anyone found a way around this? I know on the ISX50's you can install without removing bumper? Anyone know how? There's gotta be a way...

Piaa Xtreme Plus 9006. 51w=115w.

They may not last as long but the beam/light crispness is unbeatable in my opinion.. I've tried from the cheapos to Piaas and they do not compare, not even close. The Silverstar now released the extended life (just realeased) on these bulbs. They are a bit expensive but again, the beam crispness is better than the rest. I would not get the Silverstar for the Fog lights since its not the primary source of lights for driving and not worth the money. I would only use it for the headlights.
