Here's a write-up in ls1gto.com.
http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthr...driving+lights
I had the Philips 4500K low beams and foglights installed by Harris Speed Works. It makes the car look a lot better at night and even during the day when you use either the low beams or the foglights with the parking lights. Not to mention, you'll see a lot better at night. I bought my kits from xenonking.com, but I'm pretty sure they're not the best vendor to buy these from as they have a horrible return policy and even a worse turn-around time. As for the install, my installer said that it was basically plug and play. He had to remove the front bumper to do the install and that was actually the easiest part.

Whatever you do DON'T BUY FROM visionbulbs.com THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!! Trust me this is from experience, I love the look, so far the bulbs work fine(installed 8 mos. ago) but their service is non-existent and they don't credit you when they send the wrong bulbs for your fogs. So now I'm without fogs that match which is kinda the reason for doing it in the first place! Seeing better is just a benefit to looking better

Hmm. I don't have any pictures of the car with the HIDs. But I took these before and after I did the swap. I did the 4300K kit that Speed, Inc. had. It was Philips I believe.

It's been a while but I think the relay positions are labeled on the underside of the cover. It's along the passenger side of the engine compartment in front of the strut mount.

Have any of you seen or heard of issues with water leaking into the projector housings after HID retrofits? I'm a bit wary of compromising the watertight integrity of the housings, otherwise I would have done this already.
