Here's a post with my LMC conversion: https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...ht-option.html

If you have installed the LMC with the adapter plugs, you might want to check them for wire seals. (see the thread above) If you don't have them, you'll want to get them in to cut back on corrosion at the socket. Delphi p/n 12010293

Ok well I decided to ditch my Eurolamp housings, I'll be ordering these soon. Unfortunately I already own DDMTuning H7 bulbs, so I'll have to buy replacement 9006 bulbs. And I've already cut my main harness to the housings, so I'll have to splice together a factory harness.

So do I need to order the harness from LMC as well?

So do the housing come with bulbs or do you need to order the $3 bulbs for the inners as well?

I already have HID's for the outers but just need to order the 9006 bulbs for the outer housings.

No, the harness is not needed. Check out my post above. (The harness they sell is specifically for trucks - our cars have sufficient wiring.)

The housings come with bulbs and harnesses that you can splice in or plug in to the stock socket. Or (if you have the tools) you can put new crimp connectors on and skip any splice or connection. (see my post)

Would this work on a 93?

I am curious why are some of you guys using different colors for the fogs and lows? I am going to be the oddball and use the same color for both..I am thinking either 4300K or 5000K for both.

^ Agreed. 4300K is stock, 5000K is pretty much pure white, and 6000K is white with a hint of blue. In my opinion, the perfect color.

well in my case , i was worried 8000k would be too much blue for the best visibility , and 6000k would be the most visibility while still having a bit of blue in it.. so i got 8K on my fogs coz i like how they look , and 6K on the lows.. i wanted the fogs to be "bluer" .
might sound silly but thats how i like them
