I love my 6000k hi/lo bixenon kit in my heads, i got it from HID4U as well. I ordered my fogs a couple days ago, they are also 6000k and they will be here this week. cant wait.

NoLongerJeepin, what color is in your heads? the fogs look slightly more blue.

my heads are "6000k" but i think they are closer to 5000k. they dont put out as much light as the fogs but they get the job done. still a huge improvement over stock

can you upgrade kelvin color without upgrading ballasts?? for instance, i was thinking i may get 5000K bulbs with the kit and if its not exactly what im looking for then i can go with 6000K bulbs but still use the same ballasts?

I believe the ballasts are the same regardless of the bulb color

Just remember to re-aim your heads once you get them in there... the housing simply isn't designed to properly project HID light and, as such, you're going to have some SERIOUS glare.

I had a set in mine and pulled them -- they're now on my shelf. I simply couldn't stand the fact that I was constantly getting flashed (even after aiming them waaaay down). I didn't like the thought of glaring the heck out of every soccer mom with a van-load of kiddos either...

I'll stick with my SilverStars until someone really comes out with a plug and play kit that offers a full housing replacement -- like the late/great Xenarc kit for the old body style...

projectors really help get rid of the glare. it gives the beam a nice cut off point.

I put a set of hi/lo HID bulbs (6000k) into 'HELLA' black housings and the aim was great..no adjustments were needed, can't tell you why, the 'bucket' looks just like the original headlights, but the Hella's didn't "scatter" the light any where near as bad as the stock headlight.

i never re-adjusted my heads, and i drive about 200 miles per week just on the interstate, mostly in the dark, and i STILL havent been flashed in the 3 months ive had the HIDs in. Maybe its the hi/lo kits, the lo beam must be aimed pretty low.

Keep in mind i also dont have any kind of leveling kit or lift that can aim the headlights higher.

Every person would flash me must be the halo housing that makes the glare bad.

I noticed for the HID4U guy that some pictures show "Xentec" on the ballasts, while others show the box as being "Fusion HID".

Am I missing something?

Also... my Headlights will be the H13(9008) according to the sylvania site, but my fogs are 9145... do they make a kit for those?
