    If I do a headlight retro can I still keep the hids in my fogs? Or is that just too much draw on the battery having 2 sets? Thanks for any info

    Im pretty sure that a 35w hid draws less power than the stock 55w halogen so you should still be using less power than your stock lights previously used. Anybody that has more knowledge feel free to correct me that was just my assumption.

    Too long to list :D
    As far as I remember they are going to draw more power at the initial start up (a few seconds at most), but once going they run at 35w. So then yea, they will use about 20w less than stock per side.

    5000K is pure white with a touch of blue...I haven't had an issue with mine regarding on coming traffic...actually, I even tried it with a buddy of mine who drives a Lexus IS350, he said that the lights didn't blind him or bother him at all. :)

    6000K is more on the blue side and apparently sucks for driving in the rain

    Nope, but TW seems to be pretty willing to help you sell 1,000 kits at 25% off :D
