Why not just buy HID's and install them.

SharpHID is where you want to purchase from.

Apexcone 35w system will do you fine. H7 style bulbs and you want a bulb temperature range of 4500k-6000k nothing less nothing more.

You will get instructions with them. Or should. Ask John and he will help you out.

ide rather just buy some 8000k bulbs off ebay, and plug them in, they replace your old bulbs, just brighter, alot easier and cheaper, just dont touch the bulb with your fingers the oils on your hands cause the bulb to burn out. they work great for me. 10 bucks plus shipping. 8000k blue led style bulbs. alot of them have warrenty's too. not saying hid kits dont.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious? Wow you must like getting ripped off big time. Those "8000k bulbs" on EBAY are such a rip off and don't improve anything. They are crap and not worth the money they charge for them.

If you want to do it right you buy a real HID kit. $150 is freaking cheap, considering what HID kits used to cost.

Ans they are crap compared to even OEM and aftermarket HID's. Trust me your not truly pleased with them as you would be with real HID's. And don't tell me they compare because they don't. Because they can't, they aren't eben close.

S70DRIVER is absolutely right. Those so called Xenon/Krypton cheap bubs on eBay are just that.... cheap crap. I bought a set to replace my low beam bulbs and they were worthless. The color of the light mimics real HIDs but they aren't even as bright as OEM H7s. I put the OEM bulbs back in and trashed the ones from eBay. Moral of the story..... you get what you pay for. Good quality OEM H7 replacements from Sylvania or G.E. will run you $40 - $80 each.
