I converted mine to all red. I hated the red-orange combo. If you like orange I have an extra set, but red looks much better to me.

I use Philips kit, but any H3 HID kit will do the job.
Try to find one that comes with slim ballasts.

Sorry i wasn't clear.
I was asking what do you use when you change the front lens?
Do you use a set of the rear(reds) or is the front different than the rears?

Thanks TW
It makes a real difference at night. If you were to put LED's behind it would be even more spectacular
hmmmm.... maybe too bright?

I have
1) 2 06+ headlights w/ ballast included
2) 2 DS4 bulbs
3) 2 02-05 leveling motors
I have been told that i need to buy
1) 2 06+ connectors to make it plug and play
Is there anything else that you know I will needed?
I wanted to thank you again for your help!
