I have been running HIDs in these for a few months now with no problems.

As far as the fogging up problem, my last headlights did that pretty bad so I resealed my Sonars first thing so that all around they were covered with silicone on every crack, now I don't get any fogging.

Only thing is your pair came with an amber reflector for the turn signals and mine didnt??

Now i'm a noob at this, but i'm wondering if i were to go HID's...low beams and high beams...do they make the projector lens for BOTH, the LOW beams as well as HIGH beams? The sonar mentioned above..looks like has the projector i can use with an HID setup only for the low beams.....

you won't be able to run highs and lows in the same projector glass, you would need dual projectors which they do make...look for the ones with three leds under the turn signal...at first i though you were trying to run high/low bulb in one projector...

No..i meant as in 2 individual/separate projectors, because sadly i'm not satisfied with just the HID low beams..if i'm doing HID's..i'm going all out i wanna do all..low+high beams...all HID's...so..i think i've seen the ones with the led's...and i wanna saw i didn't like them.

on a slightly off topic note: Basically i wanna upgrade to HID's but i don't wanna do any cheap/ebay/rice junk..even those black housing looks a bit ricy but is there anything out there thats awfully close to an OEM setup/look ...at the same time has projector's that could be utilized for HID purposes..?

I have them and not worth to flash people with remember the ballasts have to charge so there is a split second delay.

I need to wire up my low beam HID to come on with High HIDs hehehe then its worth it.

you guy having problems with fogging? yea i did too. i tried that little black cap technique but didn't really work. still fogged on me. so finally i just uncapped the high beam rubber cover and just left if haging and opened. never had a problem with fogging since. and yea wish the wiring manual was a bit better than i didn't have to cut up the wrong wires.

also has anyone ever notice that the halos are brighter in pictures than realtime?

True, by the time they charge to full output the car will be long gone...

Yea I really recommend HID in the low beams, I have 12,000K bulbs in there and it looks wicked. the focus is near perfect IMHO
