I've got 4300k HIDs in the stock housing siliconed in the low beams and it did help, but there still not great, I think my car is too low to get a good light throw down the road. I'm planning on upgrading the fog light housings to some Hella or similar style with HIDs as well and HIDs in the high beams. I'm not worried about the warm up time or switching back and forth, theres not alot of traffic at night on the roads I typically drive. It won't be until spring that the lights are upgraded, working on the suspension right now

False, at least with my car. It does not feel safe driving the speed limit at night because I personally think I'm over driving my HIDs. Granted I just have stock fogs, but I think there is room for improvement everywhere in the lighting department. My high beams are sliverstars but will soon be another set of HIDs in 5000k and I'm getting some Hella FF75 (I think) and will be putting some HIDs in there, probably 4300k to match my lows, maybe the 5000k highbeams will contrast with the 4300k light I don't know.

Maybe I just need to adjust my lights, but it looks bright, it just doesn't throw the light very far down the road IMO

BTW anyone have a link to a write up on how to wire the fogs to stay on with the high beams? I did that on my Grand Prix and it helped alot, couldn't hurt these cars any either

Where did you buy your HID's from..? I've never felt like I was out driving any lights, especially HID's. Maybe your kit isn't very powerful?

I've never been an *** kisser for companies products, but DDM tuning is hands down the best and cheapest IMO, with lifetime warranty to boot. I've had a few kits from them, all of them were super bright.

Yeah I just got 2 sets of HID's from DDM Tuning. They are both 6000k kits with 55w bulbs for the lows/fogs. They are bright as hell.

I just went to ddm tuning and under HID kits all that was there was the D1 35w kit, not the 55w you guys picked up, so which actual part numbers are needed for the kits for fogs and low beams from them. Also, doe I get the eurolight housing from them, use the lmc housing, or jus resuse the stock?
