The best option is Xenon system (same installed in my 97 TA). The bulb is the 880 and you decide if you want bright white 4500°k or 6000°K. Blue 8000°K. Another colors are "ricer" in my particular point of view. The upgrade is intended to get a better illumination on the road and hence, becomes a security issue.

Another option is replace your fog housings with KC Hilites Air Dam Series. They have a 100 watts bulb aimed low you will have almost a headlight-like beams. A friend of mine installed in his TA upsidedown with the stock bracket. The diameter is 5" round.

Check it out...my fog light project.
They have been kick *** in real fog and as opposed to HIDs, I can leave them switched on and have them flash when I unlock without worrying about killing the system.

Easy solution to that is turning the fogs off when you get out = no flash when you lock doors.

Hids over everything.. You can get a quality kit to go in your stock housing for around 40-50% depending on options.

If you have a camaro go 55 watt, if you have a TA go 35 watt. Go to ddmtuning.com. By far the best place to buy from. Complete plug-n-play. NO halogen light can compare to hids, period.

Agreed. I bought mine from DDM I have had them over 6 months. And I don't cut them off when I get put of the car either. I let them flash with my alarm. Nevere had any problems with them. And hell for $35 I figure I've already got my moneys worth out of them.

Bore the hole out and put some IPF 900MSR lights in there. I have them on my truck and they are blinding from 1/2mi away and brightly light up reflective things like stops signs well over a mile away. Subbie style. Other than that other good ideas have been taken.

Yes, the raptor kit is their regular kit. On our cars you have enough room two mount four ballasts very easily without being noticeable at all, two for low beams and two for fogs. If you want to save a little bit of money go with the regular. If you don't care and want the slims, spend the extra bit and get those. Most people are in a craze over slim, I guess they think they are better...? Quality wise there is no difference. Other reason I guess is cause they think they regular is too big for our cars. Like I have said WAY more than enough room/places to mount these on our cars.

The DDM kit has a choice of slim or regular.
