If you aim them low enough you should be fine, the stock foglights for you guys are projectors right? you could get HIDs in there and that will help a lot too when aiming the beam downwards.

What is the h1/h7 to 9600 cable for?
These both are extra money that I don't want to spend if I don't have to.
sometimes an error will come up with the addition of HIDs lights, I did not have that problem and many others have not either, it's a hit or miss type of thing from what I hear.

the h1/h7 is for a coversion to a different sized bulb.

you should be safe without either one of those.

Here is what I did with my HID's These are DDMTuning.com kits 6000k for both High and Lows.


I cut out the backs out of the plastic covers using a dremel tool so I could fit in the rubber seals for the wires.


I mounted the ballasts inside the fender using 3M doublesided tape. I'm hoping this will hold since it is protected but time will tell.


Hope these can help you out. Let me know if you have any other questions. I can try to help the best I can or get you some pictures.

Think we can get DDM tuning as a site sponsor?

Looks pretty awesome on your car!
Thanks for posting the pics, they will definitely help when I go to install the kit on my car.

At least give someone a free t-shirt or something.

i doubt it, they're a pretty small site and wouldn't even do group buys because they said their prices are already low enough
