i have 6k's in my lows and fogs, it is a lot better then the stock bulbs, i also get a lot of cars flashing me
The flashing is probably from your fogs. Putting HID's in a housing that is made for simple halogen lights can cause massive amounts of glare to on coming cars. It's also illegal. This has been talked about countless times on here and all around the net. I know many members around here have them, but just be careful how much you use them.

i dont see how they can make it illegal, i know what you mean about the glare, but it just seems retartded, plus i use my fogs all the time

Most of those cheap kits have small print that states they are usually for offroad use only. Many are not DOT approved either. Laws can vary by state and running higher temp bulbs (anything over 6K really) would make you more of a target for law enforcement. If you were to cause an accident not only would you be fined but your car would most likely be towed as a result, if the glare was the catalyst.
The basic premise remains though...putting an HID bulb in an incorrect housing is against FMVSS 108 regulations.

more of a target
I kno they're really gonna be watchin me. Jus yesterday on my ride from work I got followed by a cop who did a u turn right after I passed him. I guess it was cuz it was drizzlin and I had no headlights on, which made it easy to see my headlights r tinted

They came. They got installed. They were on maybe an hour when I was on the highway (goin to jersey) and I turned them off when I parked. Went to turn em back on a lil while later, and only one comes on. The other jus buzzes and stays off. So now I'm sendin it back to get a new one

Will do. Do I need one relay per side? With what amp rating? And how do I wire that up? Now I'm a lil pissed cuz I gotta wait for this ebay dude to respond so I can get a new ballast. So I have one pink and one standard halogen fog
I didn't use one and since I replaced that bad ballast the lights have been going strong for a couple/three years now.
