    Just completed the install for Bi-Xenons and fogs from the most recent group buy. I'm no electrical genius, but between the plug-n-play kit and this write-up, it was smooth sailing. Thanks Slimcubby and Cabletec!

    Negative. It sounds like you have a bad bulb.

    No the metal shields stay on. If you're trying to get the rubber boot to fit you can unlock the bulb from its base and lock with boot in between.

    Is there any advantage going with the 55 watt over the 30 watt?

    The advantage is brightness. I always recommend the 35w for daily driving vehicles and 55w for those that drive more rural roads. Let me know if you have any questions! And be sure to PM me before you order for coupon codes. :)

    So maybe this was covered in the thread.. aside from the how to I didn't read further..

    But these are legal in our stock headlights? For some reason I was under the impression that HID kits in stock housings were illegal and that HID kits had to be in projector housings.

    Thanks in advance
