yeah i did google a chart than, and figuired out the bulb size stuff, your link is broke by the way. but it's probobly the same one i found, it showed me every bulb size in the car. I did go with DDM, and i went with the upgraded 55w kit because i live in a woody area so bright lights are really nice to have. if i lived more city id probably just get a 35w, if an HID kit at all lol but yeah, I went with 8k because the 55w kit flushes the colors since theirs more heat and current, so its essentially 6k. on the chart the colors are only slightly different between 35w 6k bulbs vrs 55 watt 8k bulbs.

yeah i have heard the 6k 35w are basically 8k 55w, if i were you i would try to call or cancel your order but you can most likely go somewhere like a forum like clubgp, and possibly make a little profit on that hid dual kit.

You shouldnt... If anything you might need to wire a relay wire from the battery for it to work...

I think im going to run a relay for mine here sometime as running HID Lows and HID fogs and all my other lighting and system accessories it cause my driver side HID and Fog to flicker or not come on when the engine is not running.

MY guy doing my aftermarket stereo building got me the HIDs for me he gets lots of aftermarket accessories at good costs. There really isnt HID fogs.... you just need to know the bulb size of your fogs.. should be 880 I believe.. so get any HID set with bulb size 880 and choose a output/color whatever you want to call it. I have 3000K hids in my fogs and there great combo with my 12000K Lows and the 3000K do really good in bad weather.

I think i need the whole package. know where i could get a set with everything and what kinda price i'd be talking :\


on another note, guess what i just learned? apparently it is illegal to have HID's in a stock reflective housing on your car in the state of PA. god this state sucks. but they can suck a nut i'm not dropping 300$ on projector style housings to appease them.

well there are no projector housings for our cars, it's illegal in all states but we all still do it, if you get 6k no one is going to bother you because it's a stock white color
