CARHIDKITS.COM is where i got mine. they are $79 + shipping. i think it come out to be less than $100. very good kit. this is for the 6000k kit. they do have others, but they cost a bit more, $109 before shipping. i hope this helps

no problem. the kit for our car also lets you keep your highs( sort of ) i believe there is an H3 bulb on the HID bulb. it isn't as bright, but it works and it is nice to through a little more light on those that like to flash us cause of our lights. :)

someone mounted their ballasts on the wiper fluid resevoir and the fuse box.
They get warm, but certainly shouldn't be getting super hot. Most ballasts are mounted with zip ties or double stick tape... if it doesn't melt those, it sure as hell shouldn't melt a wiper fluid resivoir or fuse box. If yours are getting hot enough to melt plastic, you've got a problem.


I have mine on my fuse box with no problems.. on the other side I have one on the fender and the other down a little lower... no problems at all..

BTW, i run VVME.com HID for 2 years already and helped my friends install their HIDs..... 9007 HID kit 43k, plug-and-play , $51 shipped ...
