Finally HID'd my car! Ordered some xentech hid kits with h7's for the lows and 880's for the fogs and put in some blazer projectors for my fogs. Both lights are 8000k. I can't believe how awesome these look.

Waiting for the money to get the projectors for the lows. Don't really drive the car at night anyway so I'm not to worried about other people being blinded.

For mounting the fogs I used the factory bracket and just bent it in to fit the width if the projector and clamped it in there. There is noway it can jiggle around.

Returned them all and received replacements. I went ahead and bought extras in the event it happens again I don't have to wait.

I have some 6k HIDS installed in both my low beams and fogs, and have never had an issue with blinding people. Im not running stock style housings and also spend a good hour re-aligning the beams so the light was directed properly. I think this is were most people drop the ball, they dont readjust their lights after the install.

With my halogen housings I had to point them so far down so I didn't get flashed it waste 50+% of the light output. One plus about HIDs over Halogen is the distance.
