I have 9005 4300K in mine. Plug and play.

Purchased on ebay from THIS GUY. Had an issue with a ballast a few months ago and he took care of it right away. In short, a great seller, great service, and a very nice product.

Secure the ballasts 'somewhere' within the cords' reach of the fog housing. Install HID bulbs. Connect power and ground cords leading from ballast to the bulbs' power and ground cables.

Click switch.


It's SUPER simple.

The 'bi-xenon' bulbs that you'll hear several talk about for headlights are a tad more difficult.

Sweet!

So does it involve wire cutting or do the +/- cables just unhook and hook with clips? (I can do either, just wondering).

So these are only for fogs and not for heads right? Thump, were your heads plug and play like this?

Yes, I've never felt the need for anymore light than these put out even out in the woods.

The same seller does have BiXenon kits though, if you really want them.

No wire cutting under most circumstances...

Many of the H13 kits may require you to snip a plug off of the HID kit side to plug into your stock harness (this is what I'm going through right now on my bi-xenon headlight kit).

I've got Harley lesnes which help out some but I also re-aimed them down a little. I used to get flashed before aiming them down but no problems now.
