How are the HIDs compared to stock? Does it throw light all over the place? I've been debating if I should just get some cheap blue/white halogens vs the HID kit...
My beams aren't all over the place - they seem to have a decent cut off, obviously not like OEM, but good none the less. Before I went HID I had Sylvania SilverStar bulbs installed and they worked/looked nice too. Better than regular halogen bulbs anyway. But compare the 2, Sylvania's and HID kits, and there really is no comparison - day & night I'd say.
Just remember if you do go with the HID setup to install relays! This is an absolute must. Man I hate learning the hard way!

Sorry, Haven't gotten back to you guys for a while.

Well here is what's up.

I got these relays right here:

Took an hour or so to install, but are well worth it.. no flickering at all.
I will post some pics later on today, I am at school right now and do not have access to my facebook that has all the pics on it.

Thanks,
Paul

P.S. Mep, where did you ground your relays to?

Paul,
So did you need 2 sets of relays or just one for both lights?

Well you will need two sets of relays.. I have only relayed my headlights for now.. and as soon as I relayed the headlights the fogs are no problem at all... They don't flicker or anything.

Thanks,

So If I understand this right...You can get any brand of HIDs you want as long as you get the relays? Or does anyone recommend a specific brand?
