The hole thing cost me 400$, not bad. They are 10000K and it hits pretty good on the road too. here are some pics, they are not the greatest pictures but they are ok. I will get some more pics hitting the ground.

Congradulations on a very good deal! The difference between halogens and HI's is literally night and day. How do you like them so far?

I love them, but I just hope it's not to blinding for the other drivers. No one has flashed me yet so it's all good for now

If they do flash you check and make sure that they arn't pointing up to far.

If I can do it any body can do it. I got mine from xenonking.com. If you want brightness by the 5000K. I acidently bought 10000k because I thought the higher the K the more brightness. I think it hits good on the road too. If your going to buy the HID from xenonking.com, you need the single beam hid kit and a wiring harness. I can show you how I did mine if you need help.

did you also buy a new housing? people on this site have told me that the HID KIT wouldn't be effective if the reflector inside the housing wasn't good. For $330.00 it would be worth it.

cheaper fix, but definitely not better than those, are the sylvania silver stars bulbs for about $40 dollars for 2 at walmart. Just a cheaper suggestian if funds are an issue
