the bulbs i have are HID bulbs, only difference in them from those kits is their made by Philips which many car manufactures use their HID bulbs and its the same ones you see on the road.

Well Ive had mine for id say almost a year and haven't had any condensation or fogging. Plus i like em! and also i cant get halos in my 08s i emailed oznium. That's a big thing for me i love my halos and get numerous compliments on them.
Sorry to bust your bubble on these headlights ha

but i think the outcome will be good.
Oh Tsx projectors will fit it right? And i shouldn't have to buy shrouds either since they will just slide right in right?

And also im finding the d2s bulbs and ballast for cheap on ebay... Do you think ebays safe to go with? Ballasts ive found from 40 to 70 dollars and bulbs 40 to 70 too. I know the projectors should be around 150 for good ones. But what should the pricing be for the ballasts and bulbs???
