My HID4U bi-xenon kit should be here in a few days... I'll let you know where I decide to mount it.

I am definitely getting HID's now. That write-up showed me how easy it really is, and the price is so cheap for them... now, do I want 4300k or 6000k?

i went with 6000k from hid4u, greatest apperence mod ever, signs light up brighter and i can actually see at night deffinitly worth $ 80
$160 for heads and fogs

i believe i mounted the ballast ontop of the frame for the heads, and above the foglight housings for the fogs

4300K looks like the vehicles that come with the HIDs stock but the output is great. I would go this route. The 6000k has a aftermarket look to it. I have 4300k on my truck and 8000k on my bike.

i agree with you sir, my 6000k looks white with a bluesish tint, which is wat i wanted. Imho anything more is too ricer for me and anything less would look too stock or like the silverstars i just took out.
