ddmtuning.com you have to go to the left side of the screen and click hid and lighting. I would suggest getting the harness for an extra 20 bucks for each set of lights so your headlights don't flicker or go out when the fogs go on.

I picked my kits off of ebay... what a nice look and difference. Don't get the 12000k.. unless you like pink. :x

alright thanks guys. and tblake, do the high beams seem better than your stock halogen high beams? tilting the bulbs seems too simple ha.

No it actually works pretty good.... Not much else you can do unless you want HID low beams and regular incondescant high beams. Or else buy dual HID's which will have 2 ballasts per side and two seperate HID bulbs (gets messy).

ya i was just wondering if it would be better to get the kit with incandescent highs or the kit with the tilting HID bulbs. thanks again

Problem with the two different bulbs for highs and lows is that the HID's take a few seconds to fully turn on, so as you switch from high to low, HID's will come on but not be completly bright for a few seconds. Another advantage of just tilting the bulb, is its always on and going from high to low beam will not take a few seconds for full illumination.
