    Quick Question...

    I already have Hid's that i bought from another company, but now i want the fog lights to be HID also.

    I have 6000k hids right now, and would like to now purchase a 6000k fog light kit.
    Will the HIDs i have now be the same color as the ones i buy from you? or will there be a slight difference?

    There is a good chance that they will match but I cannot guarantee anything. Let me know if you still would want to give them a shot. I don't know if I have any extra 6000K's left over from the first GB I would have to check but if not I will be holding another GB in a couple weeks.

    I just made it home and found my presents from the mail man setting at my door step. Everything looks great! It will probably be a couple of weeks before I get time to install them but I'll post some pics once I get a chance.

    Thanks again slim!

    Does anyone know which way the reflector on the bulb should point? up or down?

    thanks.

    They come the correct way... only one way to put that bulb inside your headlight. You want the shield to be on the bottom. Hope this helps... any other questions please let me know! Be sure to post pics!! :)

    I'm confused what your doing... is that a bike? just an FYI they make motorcycle kits as well... they come with one ballast and one bulb. But now you have a backup pair! :)

    I've got two sets on my ZX14 and I love them, they make a huge difference. They do make them with much smaller ballasts which are a big plus when installing them on bikes though.

    Here are a couple of pics of mine to show the smaller ballasts.

    hey slim, you said your going to do another G.B. in a few weeks, i was curious if you are able to get 5000K kits? and if that G.B. is going to be on this forum or a different one?

    Yup the Motorcycle kit they carry is small digital ballasts like those. In fact the same exact design but different sticker on them.

    Hi there, I won't have the 5000K kits in the next GB and I will be doing it on this forum. I will also have some more options like 50w and Slim Digital Ballast! :)

    I have seen pics with the BHLM and it looks good! Also the next GB the prices should be right around the same. I will be offering a slim ballast which will be more $ but that is just an additional option.
