Sorry to be dense, but are those the whole kit, or just bulbs?
I was thinking of maybe putting a set of HID 3ks in the OEM fogs I have.
I put some GP Thunder 3ks in the OEM fogs and they rock - but yours look quite a bit brighter...

the OEM knockoffs dont use standard 9006 bulbs, im not sure what type of bulb they are tho, but they are yellow. i would just stick with your yellow bulbs coz the beam pattern on oem fog kit is different than mine, mine is almost like beam vs fog(oem)

refer to this

Can you make a step by step with pics of the harness you make so others can use it as a guideline? I think that's all the hid faq page is missing....

The only thing I would be wary about in regards to the McCulloch kit are the ballast themselves. When I had the 9006 kit, the ballast kept dying on me. This did occur about 4 years ago when I had a different car, so maybe the quality is better now.

I just install my HIDs. double side tape everything including the ignitors I bought some 3M double sided foam that works just as good as the ballast double sided tape.

Here are some pictures of my HIDs (5300k) Some reason they look bluer than I thought in person. Iono if I was sent the wrong kit, but damn nice!



I didn't take these pictures BTW it was my buddy which has a RSX TypeS. The picture right above is HID vs Stock OEM

How long did the ballast last you?
